Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price before tax be $x

given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes

= 4% of x

= (4/100)x

= 0.04x

We can now build an equation for what she paid:

Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes

8.84 = x + 0.04x

8.84 = 1.04x   (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)

x = 8.84 / 1.04

x = $8.50

Find the sum or difference of (2m+7)-(3-4m)
pickupchik [31]
(2m + 7) - (3 - 4m) 

First distribute the (-) in front of the quantity of 3 - 4m. 
Think of it as this: 

-1(3 - 4m) 

You multiply each number inside the parenthesis by -1. 

So: 

3*-1 = -3
-4m * -1 = 4m

Now that you've distributed the negative you can remove the parenthesis. 
Now you'll just set it all up like you would any normal problem. Because -3 is negative you'll make it subtract.... I'll show you what I mean: 

2m + 7 - 3 +  4m 

Combine like terms (Terms which have the same variables... in this case the same number of m's)

Rearranging them can help!

4m + 2m + 7 - 3 

6m + 7 - 3

6m + 4, is our difference!
