well, the regular price is really "x", which oddly enough is 100%, but we also know that $358 is really the discounted price by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, so we know that 358 is really just 80% of "x", so

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 358& 80 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{358}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{80} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{358}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=1790\implies x=\cfrac{1790}{4}\implies x\approx 448

20% equals 0.2
100% - 20% = 80% or 0.08

358 / 0.8 = $447.50

Check
447.50 * 0.8 = 358

Solve the following differential equation: (1− 5 y +x) dy/dx +y= 5/x −1 .<br><br> C=
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

y(1+x)+x-5\ln xy=C

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given differential equation is

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)\frac{dy}{dx}+y=\frac{5}{x}-1

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{x}-1-y

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy=(\frac{5}{x}-1-y)dx

Taking all variables on right sides.

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy-(\frac{5}{x}-1-y)dx=0

(-\frac{5}{x}+1+y)dx+(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy=0

Let as assume,

M=-\frac{5}{x}+1+y and N=1-\frac{5}{y}+x

Find partial derivatives \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} and \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}

\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=1 and \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}=1

Since \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}, therefore the given differential equation is exact.

The solution of the exact differential equation is

\int Mdx+\int N(\text{without x)}dy=C

\int (-\frac{5}{x}+1+y)dx+\int (1-\frac{5}{y})dy=C

yx-5\ln x+x+y-5\ln y=C

y+x+xy-5\ln x-5\ln y=C

y(1+x)+x-5(\ln x+\ln y)=C

y(1+x)+x-5\ln xy=C
