At a boating and sport store the cost of renting a personal watercraft is $64.20 per half hour, which includes a 7% sales tax. Determine the cost of a half hour rental before tax

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total cost of renting a personal water craft = $64.20

Sales tax charged = 7%

Let the pretax cost = y

Therefore,

total cost = pretax cost + tax

$64.20 = y + 7% of y

$64.20 = y + 0.07y

$64.20 = 1.07y

y = $64.20 / 1.07

y = $60

Therefore, the rental cost of a personal watercraft for half an hour before tax is $60

1; 35 is the ratio

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
