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.

Answer:
the answer is 20. 10+4+6 is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have: The sum of the measures of angle M and angle R is 90°
M + R = 90°
M = (5x + 10)°
Plug M into (1)
the equation: (5x + 10)° + R = 90° (2)
R=55° into (2)
(5x + 10)° + 55° = 90°
5x + 10 + 55 = 90
5x + 65 = 90
5x = 25
x = 5
Answer: No, the money won't be enough to buy the car
Step-by-step explanation:
you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day and graduation day is 24 months time. If you invest $300 a month for the next 24 months.
The principal amount, p = 300
He is earning 4% a month, it means that it was compounded once in four months. This also means that it was compounded quarterly. So
n = 4
The rate at which the principal was compounded is 4%. So
r = 4/100 = 0.04
It was compounded for a total of 24 months. This is equivalent to 2 years. So
n = 2
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
A = total amount that would be compounded at the end of n years.
A = 300(1 + (0.04/4)/4)^4×2
A = 300(1 + 0.01)^8
A = 300(1.01)^8
A = $324.857
The total amount at the end of 24 months is below the cost of the car which is $20000. So he won't have enough money to buy the car
