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!

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
