A woman buys three pairs of jeans for $99.84, including tax.  If each pair of jeans cost $32, what was the sales tax rate?

anonymous · Answer

Can you translate this into an algebraic equation

anonymous · Answer

I put 32x=99.84 but not sure if its right

anonymous · Answer

$$x + 3 \times 32 = 99.84$$

Where, x is the sales tax rate.

$$x + 96 = 99.84$$

anonymous · Answer

Subtract 96 both the sides and find x..
