You pay $228.50 in taxes at a rate of 10.25% to buy a new TV. How much did the tv cost original? Round your number to the hundredths(to the penny)?

$2229.27

Step-by-step explanation:

tax rate: 10.25%

tax amount: $228.50

price before tax: x

10.25% of x = $228.50

0.1025x = 228.5

x = 228.5/0.1025

x = 2229.27

$2229.27

be more specific

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
