Answer:

<u>$660.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So when we apply a discount to a product we multiply the price of the product (let's all is x) for the percentage of the discount (let's apply 90% as the probnlem says) so then we have the following operation:

x ⋅ (1-0.9) = y

Variable y is the price at which you bought the product, it's $66, on this case. Therefore, this is the expression we have:

x ⋅ (1-0.9) = $66

Now, to get the original value of the product (x), we solve the equation for x:

x ⋅ (1-0.9) = $66

x= $66 / (1-0.9)

x= $66 / (0.1)

x= <u>$660</u>

<u>• Why did we multiply by 1-0.9?</u>

This is because we were looking for the 10% of the original price, since it's a 90% discount. A simple way to solve the problem would've been to just divide the price by 0.1 (10%), because that's what remains after you discount 90% of the price.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A different example would be the following:

<u>What was the original price of a product bought for $48 if it has a 60% discount?</u>

x is original price.

Since a 60% discount was applied, 40% of the price remains at full price. Therefore, we multiply the original price (x) by 40%:

x ⋅ 40%= $48

x= $48 / 40%

x= $48 / 0.4

x= 120

<u>$120 was the original price.</u>

Step-by-step explanation: look so if you have

shcool A its 8v+4b=12

and

School B: 12v+4b= 16

since both classes used 4 busses we can use elimination by subtracting the A class Equation from the b class equation to solve from v for its value Then, use either equation and the now found value for v to solve for b.

You should find part of the process to be

12v+4b-(8v+4b)=12-16 which shows the van holds only a few people even before continuing the solution.

Justify each step. <br> x/3-7=11 <br> x/3=18<br> x=6
Nina [5.8K]
This is the steps for equation solving for the value of x,
x/3-7 = 11
now 7 goes to the other side of equation by changing the sign from - to +,
x/3 = 11 + 7
x/3 = 18
now when we multiply both sides of equation with 3 or 3 goes to the other side of equation and multiply with 18 leaving x alone here for finding the value of x,
and we get, x = 54
at the end of equation we get x = 54, if the equation was in the form 3x - 7 = 11, then we will get x = 6
