Tommy buys a football for $20 plus 8% tax John buys a helmet for $25 plus 8% tax what is the difference in the amount Tommy and John paid including tax

$5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out the cost of the items with tax; for Tommy we have 20*0.08 = 1.6, add that 1.6 to the 20 and his purchase is $21.6, for John we have 25*0.08 = 2, add 2 to his 25 and his purchase is $27. To find the difference we subtract 27-21.6 = 5.4 or $5.40

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
