Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Cost per mile P- total cost (C) divided by total miles (M).
P= C/M
Answer:
a very weak relationship between cost and volume
Step-by-step explanation:
The R factor is used to access the strength of the relationship between a dependent and independent variable. The R factor ranges between - 1 and 1. With negative values depicting a negative linear relationship and positive values meaning a positive relationship. The closer the R factor is to - 1 or + 1, the greater the strength, a value of 0 means, no correlation exists.
Hence, a R factor of 0.15 depicts a positive but very weak relationship between cost and volume as the R value is close to 0.
The slope is m = rise/run
m = ( -3 - 6 ) / ( 5 - ( -2 )) = -9 / ( 5 + 2 ) = - 9/7
Answer: the slope of the line is -9/7.
