You buy items totaling $135.82. The sales tax is 4%. You give the clerk three $50 bills. Figure the following amounts: a. The amount of sales tax
b. The total cost including tax
c. The amount of change you should receive.

a. $5.43

b. $141.25

c. $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the total amount you it cost for all the items

$135.82 + 4% = $141.25

You give three $50 dollar bills

50 * 3 = 150

$150 is the amount you give

141.25 - 135.82 = 5.43

$5.43 is the amount of the sale price

To find the amount is cost for all the items you add the sales tax + the original price

$135.82 + 4% = $141.25

$141.25 is the amount including the tax

Subtract

150 - 141.25 = 8.75

So you will get $8.75 back

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.

true !
