The price of the book case before sales tax is 347.76 . First you multiply 378 x .08 =30.24
Then you subtract: 378-30.24= 347.76

$<span>347.76 would be your answer, you first need to find 8% of 378 which was 30.24 then you need to subtract that from 378 and that gives you your answer!
Hope this Helps

What two numbers have the product of 234 and the sum of 31

Sliva [168]

The answer is 13 and 18

<span>Two numbers have the product of 234: x * y = 234
</span>Two numbers have the sum of 31: x + y = 31

This is the system of equations:
x * y = 234
x + y = 31
_______
x * y = 234
y = 31 - x
_______
x(31 - x) = 234
31x - x² = 234 (-1)
-31x + x² = -234
x² - 31x = -234
x² - 31x + 234 = 0

According to the quadratic equation formula:
$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} = \frac{-(31)+/- \sqrt{ (-31)^{2}-4*1*234 } }{2*1} = \\ \\ = \frac{31+/- \sqrt{ 961-936 } }{2} =\frac{31+/- \sqrt{25} }{2} = \frac{31+/-5}{2} \\ \\ x_1 =\frac{31+5}{2}= \frac{36}{2}=18 \\ \\ x_1 =\frac{31-5}{2}= \frac{26}{2}=13$

When: x1 = 18, y1 = 31 - 18 = 13
When: x2 = 13, y1 = 31 - 13 = 18
