A skateboard costs $240. The sales tax on the skateboard is $12. What the percent of the sales tax?

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

12 divided by 240 is 0.05, which is a PERCENTAGE FRACTION (as I like to call it).

This means that you can easily make this into a percentage.

Example Percentage Fractions:

A whole number, like 1 for example, is 100% or more.

The number 1 is 100%, and 2 is 200% and 4.25 is 425%

But since 12 divided by 240, in this problem, is 0.05, it is 5%.

Example are:

0.08 is 8%

0.02 is 2%

0.43 is 43%

0.79 is 79%

It's pretty simple.

Sorry if this isn't very good, I'm not a good teacher XD

Hope this helps :D

answer is x<

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
