Let the first number be x.

Third number = x - 6

Second number = 3(x - 6) = 3x - 18

Sum of the numbers = 96

x + 3x - 18 + x - 6 = 96

5x -24 = 96

5x = 120

x = 24

Thus,

The first number is 24. The second number is 54. The third number is 18.

2. You bought items at Best Buy totaling $290.76. You have a 20%
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Discount = $290.76 × 0.2 = $58.15

Cost After Discount = $290.76 - $58.15 = $232.61

Sales Tax = 0.0625 × $232.61 = $14.56

How Much You Pay = $232.61 + $14.56 = $247.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount:

290.76 × 0.2* = 58.152

Round that to 58.15

* Turn 20% into a decimal (0.2)

Cost after Discount:

290.76 - 58.15 = 232.61

Sales Tax:

First turn 6.25 % into a decimal. Which would be 0.0625.

0.0625 × 232.61* = 14.556875

Then we round to the nearest hundredth and you get 14.56.

* We us the amount after the discount instead of the original price.

How much you pay:

232.61 + 14.56 = 247.17
