Gabriel lives in a state where the sales tax rate is 6.25%. If Gabriel purchase an item for $60.00, how much sales tax does he need to pay for his purchase?

Gabriel needs to have $3.75 for sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sales tax rate of 6.25% means that 6.25 cents is going to be charged for tax for each dollar you spend. (Because 6.25% of $1.00 is 6.25 cents.)

If he was spending $10, the sales tax would be 62.5 cents (6.25 cents per dollar x 10 dollars). Since he is spending $60 on this item, the equation would be (6.25 cents per dollar x 60 dollars) (6.25 cents x 60 = 375 cents).

And 375 cents equals $3.75.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
