$95.00 minus $9.50 equals $85.50
It's the first choice.Correlation that implies causation
(2x+1) + (2x+3) + (2x+5) + (2x+7) + (2x+9) = 145
10x + 25 = 145
10x = 120
x = 12
2x + 1 = 25
Sequence = 25 +27 +29 +31 +33
Third number = 29
1) Before tax = $249.99
100% = 1 = 249.99
4% = 0.04
100% + 4% = 104% = 1.04 multiplier
1.04 x $249.99 = $259.9896 = $259.99 After Tax
2) After tax = $249.99
100% = 1
4% = 0.04
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
104% = $249.99
$249.99 / 1.04 = $240.375 = $240.38 Before Tax
