You have a coupon for a local craft store that is for 40% off one item. you would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a basket for $25.99. the coupon will take the discount off of the highest-priced item. there will be a 6% sales tax added to the price of all items. what is the final price including all discounts and taxes? round your answer to the nearest cent.

$26.06

Step-by-step explanation:

You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a basket for $25.99. The highest-priced item is a basket for $25.99. So, the coupon will take the discount off for this item.

The new price of the basket is

The total cost of your buying  is

There will be a 6% sales tax added to the price of all items. So, the end cost is

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .

wait nvm i know the correct answer now its 100%   81 square feet
