The sales tax rate is 8%. If Jim bought a new Buick and paid a sales tax of $1,930, what was the cost of the Buick before the tax?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let the price of the car = x.

8% of the price of the car is $1930.

We now translate the sentence into an equation using x as the unknown amount. Then we solve the equation to find x, the price of the car before tax.

8% * x = 1930

0.08x = 1930

x = 1930/0.08

x = 24,125

Answer: The price of the car before tax is $24,125.

45/54 in simplest form

Answers

The fraction 45/54 is equivalent to 5/6.
This is a PROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (45) is smaller than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (54).
The fraction 45/54 is equal to 45÷54 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 0.833333, but as a fraction 5/6

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65, when y=4

Answers

Answer:

I believe it is 27

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer: x = 27


Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first insert  4 for y:

3x - 4 * 4 = 65

Next, multiply the numbers:

3x - 4 * 4 = 65

3x - 16 = 65

Next, move the constant to the right and change its sign:

3x - 16 = 65

3x = 65 + 15

Next, add the numbers:

3x = 65 + 16

3x = 81

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 3:

3x = 81

3x ÷ 3 = 81 ÷ 3

(Any expression divided by itself equals 1)

3x ÷ 3 = 81 ÷ 3

x = 81 ÷ 3

x = 81 ÷ 3

x = 27





How do I find the missing measurements?

Answers

Answer:

CD = 10

AD = 22

EC = 13

AC = 26

∠CAD = 23°

∠BAC = 47°

∠ADC  =110°

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of opposite parallel lines.

Which mean in ABCD parallelogram given AB is parallel to DC and BC is parallel to AD.

Now lets find the values required,

CD = AB (Opposite sides are equal in length)

But, AB= 10 (given) therefore CD = 10.

AD = BC (Opposite sides are equal in length)

But, BC= 22 (given) therefore AD = 22.

EC = AE (Diagonals bisect each other)

But, AE= 13 (given) therefore EC = 13

AC = AE + EC

= 13+13

AC =26

∠CAD = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles are equal)

But, ∠BCA = 23° therefore, ∠CAD = 23°

∠BAC = ∠ACD (Alternate interior angles are equal)

But, ∠ACD = 47° therefore, ∠BAC = 47°

∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° (Consecutive interior angles)

But,  ∠BCD = 23°+47°=70°

∠ADC = 180°- ∠BCD

           =180°-70°

∠ADC  =110°
