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.
A will be 7 x 5
B will be 10x10
3/5 =6/10, so 6/10-1/10 = 5/10 =200. 1/2 of 200=100, so mrs.kleein made 400 fruit buns in all.
3k + 10 = 22
3k = 22-10
3k = 12
k = 12/3
k = 4
