The amount he had to pay if he have to purchase a laptop today that is the same value as the one he saw in the ad is $ 390.24.

Given that:-

Price of the laptop after 1 year = $ 400.

Inflation rate = 2.5 %

We have to find the amount he had to pay if he have to purchase a laptop today that is the same value as the one he saw in the ad.

Let the price he had to pay be x.

Hence, we can write,

x + (x*(2.5)*1)/100 = 400

x(1 + 1/40) = 400

x(41/40) = 400

x = 400*40/41 = $ 16000/41 = $ 390.24.

emmainna [20.7K]
Hi,
So if I read correctly, there are 788 students each getting one of four colors of t-shirts (and there are an equal number of shirts per color). To do this, all you need to do is divide the number of students (788) by the number of colors (4) to see how many students get each color of t-shirt.

788 ÷ 4 = 197

Red is one of the four colors, and 197 is exactly one fourth of the students, so one-fourth of the students (197) get red.

How do you turn -8/9 into a decimal and percent?
monitta

You need to divide the numerator by the denominator so it should be 8 divided by 9 to turn it into a percent multiply the decimal you get by 100. Hope this helps!
