Answer
Find out the what is the clearance price of a manatee.
To prove
As given
The gift shop at manatee mall was having a clearance sale.
Everything was marked down 30%.
The original price of a manatee hat was $12.
30 % is written in the decimal form.

= 0.30
30% of the original price of a manatee = 0.30 × 12
= $ 3.6
Clearance price = original price - 30% of the original price
= 12 - 3.6
= $ 8.4
Therefore the clearance price be $8.4 .
a+b=350 => a=350 - b
3a + 5b = 1450
3(350-b)+b=1450
1050-3b+5b=1450
2b=400
b=200
a=150
