Find a number such that if you add 8 and divide the result by 4 you will get the same answer as id you subtracted 3 from original number and divided by 2

(x + 8) / 4 = (x - 3) / 2     | *4

x + 8 = 2 * (x - 3)

x + 8 = 2 * x - 6

8 = x - 6

14 = x

The number is 14.

(14 + 8) / 4 = (14 - 3) / 2

22 / 4 = 11 / 2

5.5 = 5.5

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98
