Begin by subtracting 35% from 100%, giving 65% which is equivalent to 0.65
Then multiply
147 * 0.67 = 98.49
Now for a sales tax you would want to multiply by 108.5% (or 1.085) as you are paying the previous price and them some
98.49 * 1.085 = <span>106.86165
You can round to the second decimal place since you can't have a monetary value less than a penny
your answer would be $106.86

The "system" of equations can't be solved for (x, y), because there's no "system" of equations given. There's really only one equation.
Either of these two equations can be massaged to look exactly like the other one. And if you graph both equations, you find that they're both the same line on the graph.
ANY point on the line is a solution to both equations ... and we all know how many different points there are on a line.
