Question 1 You find a sales receipt from a store that shows the total price as $40, and the total amount paid including sales tax as $42.

a. Write an equation you can use to find the sales tax rate r.

An equation is 42=
.

Question 2
b. Can you use r to find the percent for the sales tax? Explain.

; You
multiply r by
to get the percent for the sales tax.

net amount $40 my tax is 5.0% is $2 my gross amount is $42 including tax so the r would be the 5% which equals $2

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

300pi
