If you pay $ 34.02 for a jacket that includes a 5% sales tax, what is the price of the jacket before the sales tax?

105% =$34.02
100% (cost without sales tax) = 34.02/1.05 =$32.40

$32.32 because 100%-5%= 95% so 34.02x95%= 32.319 and that is rounded off to $32.32

I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:

2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides

3x + 1 = $\frac{11}{2}$ [11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides

$3x=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$ [make the denominator the same to combine fractions]

3x = $\frac{9}{2}$ Divide by 3 on both sides

x = $\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}$

$- 25 \: + 13 \: = - 12 \\ - 12 \times 8 = - 96 \\ - 96 \div 3 = - 32 \\ - 32 = p$

p = B
