The family likes peaches and other fruits. the local farmer's market is selling fresh peaches at a discounted price. if the farmer's market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining, how many peaches did it originally have on hand? show all your work and explain how you used equivalent ratios to solve the problem. i'll mark brainliest if you write what i should put down.

The local market originally had:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unknown, the remaining percentage must be calculated first, since it is known that 35% of the total was sold, so the remaining percentage is:

With this it is identified that the 280 peaches that remain correspond to 65% of the total, with these data we proceed to make a rule of three:

We proceed to calculate the value of X which is the number of peaches already sold:

Now we proceed to add the peaches sold, along with the remaining peaches to obtain the total number of peaches at the beginning:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
