Hello!
Judging by the question it seems that the problem is asking for the total cost of the sweater after tax, which means you were close with your previous two guess.
8.5% in a number would be 0.085 and 100% in a number would be 1.
Thus, the answer you are looking for is 1.085!
Hope this helped!

Expected value = -1(1/6) + 2(1/6) + 3(1/6) - 4(1/6) + 5(1/6) - 6(1/6) = -1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 - 4/6 + 5/6 - 6/6 = -1/6 = -0.167
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.
Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 3x + 3 → (2)
y = - 9x + 15 → (2)
Substitute y = - 3x + 3 into (2)
- 3x + 3 = - 9x + 15 ( add 9x to both sides )
6x + 3 = 15 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 3(2) + 3 = - 6 + 3 = - 3
solution is (2, - 3 )
