1. pbt =price before tax\n pbt*sales tax rate = sales tax\npbt*0.075=8.50\npbt= 8.50/0.075\npbt=113.33\n\nPrice with tax = 113.33 +8.50 = 121.83\n\n2. 96 fl oz = 6 pints\n3. 8*(4m 16 s)\n    need to convert to seconds\n   8*(4*60+16) 8(256) = 2048 seconds\n4. 2.5m\n5. .98m\n6. 500 kg\n7. 18,000 grams\n8. 5 milligrams

Originally I thought you meant 100 $1 bills. So now...\nlet X = the number of 100 dollar bills\n.032 the number of ounces of 1 bill\n10 lbs = (.032 oz)X\n160 oz = (.032 oz)X\nX = 5000\ntherefore 5000*100= $500,000

1) move each decimal point two times to the left (ex: 45%=0.45)\n2) multiple sales tax and dollar amount and thats your answer\n3) same as above\n4) same as above (ex: something cost $50 sale 20%off... $50 times 0.20 = you save $10)\n5) same as above\n6)same as above then subtract amount from original (ex: something cost $50 sale 20%off... $50 times 0.20 = you save $10 then you take orginal amount -save =answer $50-$10=$40)\n7) take rule number 6 then rule numer 2 add them together and thats your answer...\n\nnow take those rules and do your own homework! good luck!

you just multiply your price for .07 and you get the sales tax then you add this amount to the price of whatever that you buying. For example      $55.00\n                       X.07\n                   _______\n                      $3.85\nThen    $55.00 + $3.85 = $58.85

Take $30.00 and subtract $.10 ($29.90)\nThen figure 80% of that, and the cost is the answer ($23.92)

So, let's say the cost of the pizza was 30 quid.  Three mates each payed 10 quid (10*3 = 30).\n\nPizza man found he overcharged by 5 quid (cost should be 25).  He returns 3 (one to each mate) and keeps 2 (3+2 = 5).\n\nThat means the mates payed 9 quid each (10-1 = 9) and 27 total (9*3 = 27).  Add the 2 the pizza man kept and you have 29.  You now have a pound missing.\n\nWrong.  You don't add it to 27, you subtract it from 27.\n\nLook at it this way.  The mates paid 30.  Each got 1 back, so the pizza cost 27 (30-3 = 27).  The delivery guy kept 2 so the total is 25 (27-2 = 25).\n\nNo pound missing.

The bill was 75.\nThey paid 25 each.\nAfter paying a total of 5 Rs from the check was refunded.\nTherefore, for all intents and purposes, they paid, in total, 70 Rs.\n\nThe one dollar disappears when you do the math the way you did, because it does not take into consideration that the refund was on the entire check and not per person paid. Had the 5 Rs been distributed evently, each person would have received 1.67 Rs. So, each person's real contribution was 23.33 Rs. \n\nEven if the waiter did steal the 5 Rs, they still got a 5 Rs discount.

If it is $10 Tuesday, and that is after falling - 3/8 from the day before, then obviously, it was 10 3/8 the day before.  An "eighth" is an eighth of a dollar (12.5 cents), so the price was 10 and 37 1/2 cents the day before.\n\nIf the high was 14 1/4, that is $14.25.  If the low was 8 1/2, it was as low as $8.50.  I am not going to do that substraction for you, but I hope it isn't hard to subtract 8.50 from 14.25.\n\nGood luck!!

A) Gasoline costs $2.02 for 1 gallon. We want to know how much 12 gallons of gasoline costs.\nx = cost of 12 gallons of gasoline\nx / 12 gallons = $2.02 / 1 gallon --- Cross-multiply...\n(1)(x) = (12)($2.02) --- Multiply...\nx = $24.24\nANSWER: The cost of 12 gallons of gasoline is $24.24 when one gallon of gasoline costs $2.02.\n\nB) Mr. Jones starts with $2,589.36 in his checking account. He writes checks for $689.00, $107.25, and $23.69. We want to know the remaining balance in his account.\nx = amount remaining in Mr. Jones' account\nx + $689.00 + $107.25 + $27.69 = $2,589.36 --- Combine the dollar amounts on the left side...\nx + $823.94 = $2,589.36 --- Subtract $823.94 from each side...\nx = $1,765.42\nANSWER: Mr. Jones has $1,765.42 remaining in his checking account.\n\nC) A 12 oz. can of soda costs (assuming you meant) $0.65. We want to know the cost of 1 ounce of soda.\nx = cost of 1 oz. of soda\nx / 1 oz = $0.65 / 12 oz --- Cross-multiply...\n12x = $0.65 --- Divide both sides by 12...\nx ≈ $0.05\nANSWER: An ounce of soda costs $0.05 when 12 ounces of soda costs $0.65.\n**Note: If you really meant that the soda cost $65.00 instead of 65 cents, then the price for an ounce of soda is $5.42 instead of a nickel.
