80/100*n=16

80n=1600

n=1600/80=160/8=20

The original price of the shorts would have been $19.20. To find this answer you would have to multiply and add.
First thing I did was turn 20% into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left 2 times.(.20)
Second thing I did was multiply 16.00*.20. Which came up to be 3.20.
The third thing that you would have to do is add 3.20 to the price Faye paid for the shorts.
3.20+16.00
And the original price would have came up to $19.20
Hope this helps:)

Solve: 6 -x= 4(5 + x)- 4
Serggg [28]

Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 - x = 4(5 + x) - 4 ← distribute and simplify right side

6 - x = 20 + 4x - 4

6 - x = 16 + 4x ( subtract 4x from both sides )

6 - 5x = 16 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 5x = 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = - 2
