Answer:

(x - 5) - 8 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets portion each part out:

Eight less than

The difference of a number and five

Is twelve.

First, we must write down the portion with "a number" in it: x - 5. We use subtraction because the sentence states "the difference".

Next, we will write down "eight less than". The problem states that twelve is "eight less than" the difference. This means that we must subtract 8 from out first part: (x - 5) - 8

Finally, the sentence tells us that this equals twelve: (x - 5) - 8 = 12

shusha [124]
The tax is 6.5% OF the listed price. "OF" in math means multiply.

First convert the percentage to a decimal 

6.5% = .065

Then multiply .065*813.95 = 52.90675. This is the tax.

Simply add the tax onto the cost

813.95 + 52.90675 = $866.86 (rounded)
