I really don't know this so can you explain this for me? thank you

Awnser: x-8.04=24.95;$32.99

@Ian Armitage, you do realize that R.S. ELITE said that in 2019. It is almost 2021, do you really think he is going to respond?...

Are you sure

Well, it seems like Melissa got herself a good deal. Let's break it down.

We know that Melissa paid $24.95 for the sweater on sale, which is $8.04 less than what Christine paid when it wasn't on sale. So, we need to figure out the original price that Christine paid for the sweater.

To find that out, we need to add the $8.04 Melissa saved to the sale price of $24.95. So, $24.95 + $8.04 equals... drumroll, please... $32.99!

Therefore, Christine originally paid $32.99 for the sweater. I hope that clears things up for you. And if you're ever in the market for an affordable sweater, just remember to be like Melissa and find a good sale.

Sure! Let's break down the problem step by step to find the answer.

First, we know that Melissa bought the sweater on sale for $24.95. Let's call this amount M.

Next, we are told that Christine paid a price for the same sweater when it was not on sale. Let's call this amount C.

According to the given information, Melissa's sale price is $8.04 less than what Christine paid for the sweater. In other words, C - 8.04 = M.

Now, we can substitute the known values into this equation. We know that M is $24.95, so the equation becomes C - 8.04 = 24.95.

To find the value of C, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 8.04 to both sides of the equation.

C - 8.04 + 8.04 = 24.95 + 8.04.

This simplifies to C = 32.99.

Therefore, Christine paid $32.99 for the sweater when it was not on sale.
