<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
original price of pants = $25
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>First, let's calculate the price of shorts after discount:</u>
Assume that the price of shorts after the discount is x
Total payment = price of shorts + taxes
<u>We know that:</u>
total payment = $21
taxes = 5% = 0.05 of the price
<u>This means that:</u>
21 = x + 0.05x
21 = 1.05x
x = $20
Therefore, <em>the price of the shorts is $20 after the discount</em>
<u>Now, we will get the price of the shorts before the discount:</u>
Assume that the price of shorts before discount is y
<u>We know that:</u>
The discount was 20%
This means that Jennifer paid:
100% - 20% = 80% of the price of the shorts
<u>Therefore:</u>
80% of the price = $20
0.8y = 20
y = $25
This means that <u>price of shorts before discount was $25</u>
Hope this helps :)
The answer is a (|x - 8| ≤ 9 and -1 ≤ x ≤ 17) Because the difference between x and 8 can't be greater than 9, but it can be less than or equal to it, and because the range that x could be would be -1 to 17, since 8 + 9 = 17 and 8 - 9 = -1.
