In this question it is important to note down all the important information's that are mentioned in the question.
Cost of a container of cat liter = $13.75
Cost of a bag of cat food = X dollars
Total amount of money required to purchase the items = $20.80
Percentage of sales tax that had to be given = 4%
Then
Amount of sales tax given = (4/100) * 20.8 dollars
                                           = 20.8/25 dollars
                                           = 0.83 dollars
Then the total purchase price for the two items = 20.80 - 0.83 dollars
                                                                            = 19.97 dollars
Now we can easily find the cost of the cat food by subtracting the cost of the liter from the total purchase amount.
Then
Cost of the cat food = 19.97 - 13.75 dollars
                                 = 6.22 dollars
So the cost of the bag of cat food is $6.22

Quarters-2

Then since the remainder was 6 that means there was only 1 penny and 1 nickel.

Pennies- 1

translated 3 units right and 2 units up. Then it is rotated 270 counterclockwise about the origin resulting in quadrilateral PQR
Daniel [21]

Because the shape is not undergoing a dilation, the perimeter of the original image and the new image is the same. The only thing that is changing is the placement of the original figure.


I hope this helps! :)
