Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Answer:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8. Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5
Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope. Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
None of these are equivalent to 34; they're all different values.
