The mistaken assumption is that the customer thinks the shoes are back to their original price.

The assumption is wrong because the price of the shoe is now lower than $150.

The cost of the shoe now is $126.

In order to retain the price of $150, the percentage decrease should have been 28.6%.

<h3>What is the cost of the shoe now?</h3>

Price of the shoe after it was increased : 1.4 x 150 = 210

Price of the shoe after it was decreases: (1 - 0.4) x 210

0.6 x 210 = $126

The percentage the price should be decreased for the price to be back to $150 = (150 / 210) - 1 = 28.9%

Answer:

the 1st, 2nd and 6th statements are true.

and probably the 3rd statement is true.

I am not sure about the 3rd statement, as I cannot read the original in your screenshot, and your transcribed description is probably not correct and contains typos.

but all you need is in the explanation below to decide, if the actual 3rd statement is true or not.

if "58 + 79 = 1268" actually means "5s + 7g = 1268" then it is true. otherwise it is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

g = number of general tickets sold

s = number of student tickets sold

so, in total

g + s = 234

tickets were sold.

and the revenue was

7g + 5s = $1,268

out of these 2 basic equating we get

g = 234 - s

and then

7(234 - s) + 5s = 1,268

1,638 - 7s + 5s = 1,268

-2s = -370

s = 185

g = 234 - s = 234 - 185 = 49

so, we know

185 student tickets were sold for 5×185 = $925

49 general tickets were sold for 7×49 = $343

It is 3 - kilometer hike to river PJ walks for 500 meters. Then he walks another 1,050 meters. How many more kilometers must PJ
Leviafan [203]
Conversion:
3 km - 3000m
0.5 km - 500 m
1.05 km - 1050 m

Solution:
3, 000 m = 500m + 1050m + n
3, 000 m = 1550m + n
n = 3, 000 m - 1550m
n = 1450m

1.45 kilometers must PJ hike to reach the river.
