Answer:

n = -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number

6n = (n+3) -10

Combine like terms

6n= n-7

Subtract n from each side

6n-n=n-n-7

5n = -7

Divide by 5 on each side

5n/5 = -7/5

n = -7/5

Answer:

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Part A:

Original price of video game = $32.99

Discounted price = $26.39

Amount of discount = 32.99 - 26.39 = $6.60

Discount percent = $\frac{Amount\ of\ discount}{Original\ price}*100$

Discount percent = $\frac{6.60}{32.99}*100 = 0.20*100$

Discount percent = 20%

Part B:

Sales tax = 8% of discounted price

Amount of sales tax = $\frac{8}{100}*26.39 = 0.08*26.39$

Amount of sales tax = $2.11

Total amount = $26.39 + $ 2.11 = $28.50

Hence,

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.
