Noah pays 25.20 for non perishable food items to give to the local homeless shelter the price includes a 5% sales of tax. what is the price before tax of the food items ?

The original price of the food items was 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call the original price of the food items before tax, then know that after 5% tax is included, the price becomes

   (this says original price plus 5% tax equals 25.2)

which can be rewritten as

solving for , we get:

Therefore, the original price of the food items was 24.

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
