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:
Each week 26,849,315 Gallons of ice cream is produced each week
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this we see how much is made in a year which is 1.4 billion gallons in the U.S.
To see how much is in a day we divide 1.4 billion by 365. Which is 3835616 Then we multiply it by 7 because there is 7 days in a week and the answer is 26849315
