Acustomer paid 5$ in tax. his tax rate was 5%. fin the dollar amount of his purchase

Hey there!

Let's create an equation for this scenario.

0.05x=5

This equation shows that the $5 is equal to 0.05% (sales tax) of the cost paid for the item.

let's solve by dividing both sides by 0.05x.

x=100

Therefore, his purchase costed $100 before sales tax.

I hope this helps!

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
