Shelly's Boutique had a Labor Day sale featuring, 25% off any item, Tammy wanted to buy a blouse that originally sold for $21.99. To the
nearest cent, how much will it cost her before tax to buy the blouse during
the sale?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

wouldn't that be a) 1

4=4x then divide 4 on both sides and you get x=1

for one thing their called fish not "fishes" and 2 fish can't be dead and alive and this question is absurd.
