Answer:
-5 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.
a + b = 12
The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.
b - a = 22
(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)
b = 22 + a
(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)
a + (22 + a) = 12
a + a + 22 = 12
2a = -10
a = -5
a + b = 12
-5 + b = 12
b = 17
Answer:
$48.66
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of a good is the base cost plus tax. We are given the cost of the skirt, so all we need is the amount of tax. To find it, we multiple the cost of the skirt by the tax rate:
45.99 * 0.058 = 2.67
We now add the tax to the cost of the skirt:
45.99 + 2.67 = 48.66
As you can see, we are adding the price of the skirt to 5.8% of the skirt's price, so we can also solve the problem by simply multiplying the cost by 1.058 as shown below:
45.99 * 1.058 = 48.66
