I need the answer too lol, does anyone knows it ?
If you have a calculator with statistical functions, that's the way to go.
On my TI-83, I typed in invNorm(0.88) and got the result z = 1.17.
88% of the area under the normal curve is to the left of z = 1.17.
The final price of the item is $22,644
The initial discount of 10% leaves the price at 90% of the retail value:

cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 3,060,000
x = 30,600
This new price is then discounted 26%, which means the final price is 74% of $30,600:

cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 2,264,400
x = 22,644
The final price of the home entertainment system is $22,644
To find the total multiply the sale price by 1 + tax rate.
Total = 20 x 1.05
Total = $21.00
<span>8 - 3x - 5x = -8
8 - 8x = -8
-8x = -8 - 8
-8x = -16
8x = 16
x = 16/8
x = 2</span>
