You have $60.00. you wish to buy a jacket costing $25.50. you would also like to buy a pair of shorts. there is a 7% sales tax on clothing. what is the top tag price (excludes sales tax) you could pay for the shorts?

$32.71

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the TOTAL price of the jacket (including sales tax)

    25.50 * .07 = 1.79 (this is the sales tax which is to be added on to the     original cost)

    25.5 + 1.79 = 27.29 ( total price of jacket)

2. Subtract how much money you have by the amount of the jacket.

    60-27.29 = 32.71 ( how much $ you have left)

c is the final answer! : )

x = 10.1

step-by-step explanation:

all of the angles of a tirangle add up to 180º

180 - 65 = 115 (since we already know the value of one angle)

(2x + 7) + (8x + 7) = 115

(combins like terms) 10x + 14 = 115

(isolate the variable subtract 14 from both sides): 10x = 101

(find the variable divide both sides by 10): x = 101/10

x = 10.1
