Price plus tax = Total amount - Shipping charge

Price plus tax = $95.68 - $5.25

Price plus tax = $90.43

Let, x is the price excluding tax :

x+\dfrac{5x}{100}=90.43\\\\105x=9043\\\\x=\$86.12

Also, she used $5 off promo code.

So, Original price = $86.12 + $5

Original price = $91.12 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find two consecutive numbers whose squares differ by 33
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Two consecutive numbers whose squares differ by 33 are 16 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume first number be x

since numbers are consecutive , so other number will be x + 1

From given information in question

(x + 1)² - x² = 33

⇒ (x² + 1² + 2x)  - x² = 33       [   since (a+b)² = a² + b² + 2ab ]

⇒ x² + 1² + 2x - x² = 33

⇒ 2x + 1 = 33

⇒ 2x = 33 - 1

⇒ x = 32/2 = 16

so one number is x = 16 and other number is x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

lets recheck our solution

17² - 16² = 289 - 256 = 33 , And since difference is 33 , two required consecutive numbers are 16 and 17.

A mid-size car has a 50 L gas tank and a fuel efficiency rating of 8.1 L/100 km.
marta [7]

Answer:

On a full tank of gas Jocelyn would be able to travel approximately 617 km

Step-by-step explanation: To find the distance compared to fuel to the amount of fuel you would have to take the fuel efficiency and divide the amount of fuel in the tank by such, by that estimate you'd be able to approximate the distance that would be able to travel per interval of fuel used. I hope this helped, have a wonderful day ^^

The difference of two numbers is 16 the greater number is five less than four times a small number find the two numbers
Elis [28]

Answer:

The numbers are 23 and 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the equations

   Let x = the greater number

  and y = the smaller number. Then

(1) x - y = 16

       4y = 4 times the smaller number and

  4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then

(2)     x = 4y - 5

You have a system of two equations:

\begin{cases}(1) & x - y = 16\\(2) & x = 4y - 5\end{cases}

2. Solve the equations

\begin{array}{lrcll}(3) & 4y - 5 - y & = & 16 &\text{Substituted (2) into (1)}\\& 3y - 5 & = & 16 &\text{Simplified}\\ & 3y & = & 21 &\text{Added 5 to each side}\\(4) &y & = & \mathbf{7} &\text{Divided each side by 3} \\& x - 7 & = & 16 & \text{Substituted (4) into (1)}\\& x& = & \mathbf{23} & \text{Added 7 to each side}\\\end{array}

The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.

3. Check

\begin{array}{rclcrcl}23 - 7& = & 16 & \qquad &23&=&4(7) - 5\\16 & = & 16 & \qquad &23& = &28 - 5\\&&& \qquad &23& = &23\\\end{array}

OK.
