A group of 5 friends want to buy a flat-screen TV for $210. The tax comes to $15. Write and solve a multiplication equation to find how much money each person should pay if each person pays the same amount.

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create a multiplication equation, we would need to use a single variable that represents the amount that each friend will pay. This can be represented by the variable x. We multiply this variable by the number of friends which should equal the total of the TV with the tax included. Like so...

$210 + $15 = 5x

Now that we have the equation we can go ahead and solve it by adding the total and the tax, and then dividing both sides by 5 in order to isolate x.

$210 + $15 = 5x

$225 = 5x

$45 = x

Finally, we can see that each friend will pay the same amount which is $45

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
