We know that the number's opposite is 5. In this context, the opposite means the negative of the given number. Since the number's opposite is 5, the number itself must be -5. This is consistent with the second piece of information, since the absolute value of a number is its distance to 0 and the absolute value of -5 is 5.

Answer:

Multiply $30 by .25 you get, it's $7.50so you subtract $7.50 from $30 and you get $22.50. Then multiply 2 (sweaters) by $22.50 and you get $45,but wait you still have to multiply that sales tax so you multiply .04 by $45 and you get $1.80, later you subtract $1.80 from $45 and you get $43.20(the cost of the two sweaters)
