105% =$34.02
100% (cost without sales tax) = 34.02/1.05 =$32.40
Well, just by looking at the beginning of the problem, Jamelia had made the common mistake of thinking that

(<span>8.4852...)
</span>is equal to

(12)
If you want to estimate a square root like 72, simply find squares that would fit around the number you are looking to find, in our case, 72.
So 9*9 is 81, which is too high and 8*8 is 64, which is too low. So you know that somewhere between those numbers is what your root of 72 is!
Answer:
The unknown number is -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 + -5 = -8
-8 - -3 = -5
-8 - -5 = -3
