In this question, we are required to find the total amount he paid to buy the shirt.
It is given that sales tax is 5.5 % over the amount paid.
The cost price of the shirt = $ 24.
The total amount will be = Cost price + 5.5 % of Cost price
Or
Total amount paid = $ 24 × 1.055 (i.e. 100 % + 5.5 %)
Total amount = $ 24 + (5.5 % × $ 24)
Total amount paid = $ 24 + $ 1.32 = $ 25.32
Answer:
(3, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = 2x - 4 → (1)
3x + y = 11 → (2)
Substitute y = 2x - 4 into (2)
3x + 2x - 4 = 11
5x - 4 = 11 ( add 4 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
Solution is (3, 2)
Markup=10.82(72/100)≈$7.79 (to nearest cent)
retail=10.82(100+72)/100≈$18.61 (to nearest cent)
The answer is C.2 that is the answer
