Answer:

32.72

Step-by-step explanation:

36.36/100

0.3636

0.3636 times 90 (I use 90 because 100-10=90) 10% tax, so 90% original cost.

32.72

Answer:

Step 3 contains error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

$\dfrac{1}{4}(\dfrac{1}{3}k+9)=6$

Step 1.

Cross multiplying,

$(\dfrac{1}{3}k+9)=24$

Step 2.

Subtract 9 from both sides

$\dfrac{1}{3}k+9-9=24-9\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}k=15$

Step 3.

Cross multiplying

$k=15\times 3\\\\k=45$

So, there is an error in step 3. The correct answer should be 45.
