We are told that $168.00 represents 8% of the contract price; therefore,we know that

original price *( 8/100) = $168.00

Now, writing out "original price" is a bit space-consuming; therefore, we will just rename it and say

original price = OP

Then, our equation above can be written as

OP\times\frac{8}{100}=168

We solve for OP (original price) by multiplying both sides by 100 and then dividing by 8. This gives us

OP=\frac{100}{8}\times168\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore OP=2100}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{.}}

Hence, the original contract price is $2100.

Finley and Cooper are wanting to go to SkyZone. Finley pays $53.75 for 5 hours. How much will Cooper pay for 3 hours?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<em>10.75 x 3 = $32.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to figure out how much the cost is for one hour:

53.75/5 = 10.75

therefore, the cost at skyzone for 1 hour is $10.75 , BUT, we still need to figure out the time for 3 hours.

so, 10.75 x 3 = $32.25
