I have a goal of getting exactly $100. But I have to pay a tax of 10%. How much money do I need to get in order to have exactly $100 after paying tax? Explain your answer please.

Explanation:

Let's say you earn x dollars.

You pay 10% tax on that, which means you pay 0.10x dollars.

This would drop to x-0.10x = 0.90x which is the amount earned after tax.

So you pay 10% of what you earn, and keep 90% of the rest.

Set this equal to the target $100 you want and solve for x.

0.90x = 100

x = 100/0.90

x = 111.11

Notice that 10% of this is 0.10*x = 0.10*111.11 = 1.11 when rounding to the nearest penny. So you'll pay $1.11 in tax. Therefore, you'd have x-0.10x = 111.11 - 1.11 = 100 left over. So the answer checks out.

step-by-step explanation:

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
