Alright so to do this you need some basic algebra
you have to pay an extra 20% of whatever you buy
thus we can make the following equation
.2x+x=20  (since 20 is the amount of money you have)
combining the like terms,
1.2x=20
and finally, dividing both sides by 1.2
x=$16.67
don't forget to check!
.05*16.67=.83 (sales tax makes the total $17.5)
.15*16.67=2.5 (tip makes the total $20)
whaddya you know, it works!
most expensive item you can buy will cost $16.67
hope this helped!

Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain

4. Read this sentence from the selection.

“Whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood.”

In this sentence the word dogmatic is used as —

• an insightful simile
• a descriptive metaphor
• a humorous play on words
• an illuminating allusion


5. In the last paragraph the narrator says his mother would “fetch out a long word.” The connotations of the word fetch remind the reader that the narrator’s mother —

• is a dog
• knows lots of big words
• likes to show off


8. What is ironic about the author’s mother showing off with her knowledge of the word unintellectual?

• Her child knew she didn’t understand the word correctly.

• The strangers all already knew the meaning of the word.

• As any intellectual would know, the word should be “nonintellectual.”

• She did not know any synonyms for the word.


9. Which type of person is most like the author’s mother?

• A high-performing student with an excellent memory for words

• A very verbal person who always has a quick answer that sounds good
