The number is 6.25.

We will set up an equation for this.  Let x be the unknown number.  Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us

(x-1.05)

Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us

0.8(x-1.05)

Adding 2.84 to the product would give us

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84

Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us

[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700

We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:

([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7

Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16

Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16

Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5

Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25

Alonzo and miguel scored a total of 54 points in the basketball game. Miguel scored four more points than alonzo
pychu [463]
Lets call a to the Alonzo amount of points and m to the Miguel amount of points and write equations out of the problem's info:
a + m = 54
m = a + 4
rearrange:
<span> a + m = 54
</span>-a + m = 4
add the two equations:
<span> a + m = 54
</span><span>-a + m = 4
</span>-----------------
0 + 2m = 58
m = 29
and susbstitute in the first equation:
<span>a + m = 54
</span>a + 29 = 54
a = 54 - 29
a = 25
therefore Alonzo scores 25 points and Mike 29
