Answer:

cost = $10

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost be x

Price = x+ (0.5x)= 1.50x

cost reduced in term of x is 20% of 1.50x

\frac{20}{100} * 1.50x = 0.3x

hence 1.50x - 0.3x = 12

1.2x=12

x= \frac{12}{1.2} = 10

cost = $10

Answer: An equality the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. Terms A common technique for simplifying algebraic expressions. When combining like terms, such as 2x and 3x, we add their coefficients. For example, 2x + 3x = (2+3)x = 5x. The distributive property It is used to solve expressions easily by distributing a number to the numbers given in brackets. For example, if we apply the distributive property of multiplication to solve the expression: 4(2 + 4), we would solve it in the following way: 4(2 + 4) = (4 × 2) + (4 × 4) = 8 + 16 = 24. Two step equations that have decimals and fractions as the coefficient of the variable and constant term are said to be two step equations with decimals and fractions. A few examples of two step equations with fractions and decimals are: 0.3 x + 2/3 = 1. 3x - 0.5 = 1.2.
