Answer
Find out the what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .
To prove
Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .
As given
Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.
They are on sale for 20% off.
If the tax rate is 8% .
20% is written in the decimal form

= 0.20
8% is written in the decimal form

= 0.08
Than the equation becomes
x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08
x = 40 - 8 + 3.2
x = 43.2 - 8
x = $35.2
Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+9=3x+1
-3 -3
-9 -9
-1x=-8
divide both side by -1.
x=8
Answer:
amt. the shop spends on 40 pairs
= $11 × 40
= $440
amt. paid extra (due to fixed cost) per pair
= ($450 - $440) ÷ 40
= $0.25
amt. per pair to break even
= $11 + $0.25
= $11.25
