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.

Hi there!
I provided the charts down below. Hope this helps! ;)
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will never have no solutions. Rather, it has an infinite number of solutions since all points of the lines intersects.</span>
1st you distribute whats outaide the fractions 2/3*6 and 2/3*5/6 which would be 4 and 5/9 and then subtract those which would be 4/1 - 5/9 To make denomantor the same you would multiply 4/1 by 9 so it would be 36/9- 5-9= 31/9 which converts to 3 4/9. so your answer is 3 4/9
