20*.4= 8
(20 as the original price, .4 is 40% as a decimal)
20+8
(eight being 40% of 20)
$28 is the new price.
9x - 2y = 11 ... (i)
5x - 2y = 15 ... (ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i) we get;
4x + 0 = -4
4x=-4 , x = -1
Replacing x = -1 in equation (i) we get;
9(-1) - 2y = 11
-9 - 2y = 11
-2y = 20
y = 20 ÷ -2 = -10
The solution to the system of equations is (-1,-10).

T represents hours, so if c(1.5)=c(t) as it mentioned in the problem, then 1.5 equals hours, and c represents cost, so if cost + time equals nine then I think it's a
