Answer:
$20.99
Step-by-step explanation:
The sale causes the original price to be multiplied by 1 - 20% = 80%. The tax causes the sale price to be multiplied by 1 + 5% = 105%. The net effect is that the original price is multiplied by the product of these values:
final cost = $24.99(0.80)(1.05) = $20.99
Because it is a square root
5,256 - 4 = 5,252 = 52 x 101 or 101.0769230769231
5 + r - 2 = 9
your answer would be 6
