I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
Answer:
68.9°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Sine rule
x/sin X = y/sin Y
4.5/sin X = 4/sin 56
sin X × 4 = 4.5 × sin 56
sin X = 4.5 × sin 56/4
X = arc sin (4.5 × sin 56/4)
X = 68.85449°
Approximately = 68.9°
Tanα=h/x
h=xtanα, we are told that x=6.5ft and α=74° so
h=6.5tan74 ft
h≈22.67 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
Maybe it could've been:
3x = 32. Find the value of x.
Hence, you'd do 32 divided by 3 to find the value of x.
