Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

Add the two equations

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

-----------------

2x = 28

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 28/2

x = 14

Subtract the two equations

x-y = 8

-x-y = -20

-----------------

-2y = -12

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -12/-2

y = 6

The numbers are 6 and 14

Caleb bought groceries and paid
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Price of Caleb's groceries before tax= $6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of groceries before tax be = $ x

Sales tax % = 2.5%

Sales tax applied = 2.5\% \ of\ x = \frac{25}{100}\times x = \frac{25}{100} x

Actual sales tax paid = $1.60

∴ \frac{25}{100}x=1.60

Multiplying both sides by 100.

100\times \frac{25}{100}x=1.60\times 100

25x=160

Dividing both sides by 25.

\frac{25x}{25}=\frac{160}{25}

x=6.4

∴ Price of groceries before tax= $6.4
