The cost for buying the tent is $230.

65% was increasesd for selling. Then the rate is

$\begin{gathered} 230\times\frac{65}{100}=14.95 \\ So,\text{ the marked price=230+14.95=}244.95 \end{gathered}$

The tax is 8%. So this is from the marked price.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{100}\times244.95=19.56 \\ 244.95-19.56=225.39 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the total cost of the tent is $225.39.

Since x=8y, subsitute 8y for x in other equation

y=6x-11
y=6(8y)-11
y=48y-11
minus y both sides
0=47y-11
add 11 to both sides
11=47y
divide both sides by 47
$\frac{11}{47}=y$
subsitute taht for y to find x

x=8y
$x=8(\frac{11}{47})$
$x=\frac{88}{47}$

$x=\frac{88}{47}$
$y=\frac{11}{47}$
in (x,y) form
(x,y)
$(\frac{88}{47},\frac{11}{47})$
