Answer:
BC = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = AB + BC
28 = x-10 + x+2
Combine like terms
28 = 2x -8
Add 8 to each side
28+8 = 2x-8+8
36 = 2x
Divide by 2
36/2 = 2x/2
18 =x
We want to find BC
BC = x+2
=18+2
=20
So.. hmmm if we take "x" to be the 100% sale price before tax, $76 is really 9.5% of that
thus

solve for "x"
Answer:
Money left from her earning after expenses is $ 7160.86
Step-by-step explanation:
Money earned by Monica every month = $ 8322.65
Money spend on rent = $ 830.98
Money spend on food = $ 210.36
Money spend on gas every month = $ 120.45
Money left from her earning = 8322.65 - ( 830.98 + 210.36 + 120.45 )
= 8322.65 - 1161.79
= $ 7160.86
