Answer:
x = 5, x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.
0 = (x -8)² -9
9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9
±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root
±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8
That is, ...
x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x
x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
