Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to convert these words into mathematical expressions:
- "Twenty-two less than a number"; "less than" indicates that we need to use subtraction, and since it's "twenty-two less than", we have: -22. Let's say the "number" is q. Then, we have -22 of q, which is q - 22.
- "is twenty-four"; "is" in math always means "equal", so we need an equal sign with 24 next to it: = 24
Put this altogether:
q - 22 = 24
The answer is thus D.

Answer:
105.
Step-by-step explanation:
21+21+21+21+21=105.
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
