Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.
Answer: $5,828.28
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the Compound Interest formula: 
where
- A is the accrued amount (balance)
- P is the principal (initial amount invested)
- r is the interest rate (in decimal form)
- n is the number of times compounded each year
- t is the time of the investment (in years)
Given: P = 4,900
r = 3.5% (0.035)
n = 2
t = 5
the correct answer to your question is 10
The one year-plan would have a credit, so it would have a positive sign. In the monthly plan, there is a high risk of being late in paying the bills. That's why a fine of $10 is given for every month that you are late. If you are not time conscious and you end up being late every month, it would give you a negative balance.
