Let the total cost of the item be represented by C and the price be represented by P, then given that t<span>he total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price, thus</span>

where k is a constant.
Given that <span>the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60, thus

Therefore, the total cost on a $55 item is given by

</span>
Going off the idea that this is 4/(y+2) - 9/(y-2) = 9/(y^2-4), let's first rewrite y^2-4 in the form of a^2-b^2, where a=y and b=2.
y/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/(y^2-2^2)
Now, use difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
4/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/((y+2)(y-2))
Multiply both sides by the Least Common Denominator: (y+2)(y-2)
4(y-2)-9(y+2)=9
Then keep on simplifying until you get your answer
-5y-26=9
-5y=9+26
-5y=35
y=35/-5
y=-7
Yay! Our answer is y=-7!
