Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.
Answer:
Let's complete the square first.
y = x² + 6x + 3
= (x² + 6x + 9) - 6
= (x + 3)² - 6
Therefore, the vertex is (-3, -6) and since the coefficient of (x + 3)² is positive, the vertex is a minimum.
Half a century is 50 years. a century is 100 years
Point - slope form = y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = 2(x-1)
Whats the question u just told us some of the information
