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.

Renting a room at the Willow tree resort costs $125 for 2 people. Each additional person is $25. Write an expression that shows
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let C be the cost for the people staying

if n <= 2 ;  C = $125

If n >2 ;  C =  $125 + $25 * (n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of people is more than two, we need to add $25 for each of them.

Since n will be the number of people staying, we need to make sure that we substract two from this term to avoid overcharging the guests when there is less than two people.

So

(n-2) is the term that should be multiplied by a factor of 25.
