Answer:

<u>The original price of the laptop was US$ 875</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Sale price of the laptop = US$ 525

Discount from the original price = 40%

2. Let's find the original price of the laptop

Original price of the laptop = x

Sale price of the laptop = US$ 525

Sale price of the laptop = x - 40%x

525 = x - 0.4x

525 = x - 4x/10 (0.4 = 4/10)

5,250 = 10x -4x (Multiplying by 10 at both sides)

5,250 = 6x

5,250/6 = 6x/6 (Dividing by 6 at both sides)

875 = 6

<u>Answer: </u>

Therefore the original price of the laptop is $1312.5

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given the discount on the laptop is 40%

Sale price of the laptop is $525

Consider the original price to be $x

According to the question,

40% of x = 525

\frac{40}{100} x=525

x = \frac{525 \times 100}{40}

x = $1312.5

Therefore the original price of the laptop is $1312.5

James, Priya, and Siobhan work in a grocery Store. James makes $9.00 per hour. Priya makes 40% more than James, and Siobhan make
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<em>* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

See below;

Priya's 40% profit in the grocery store ⇒ 40/100 * 9 = 2/5 * 9 = 18/5 ⇒ $ 3.6,

Priya's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 9 + 3.6 ⇒ $ 12.6,

Siobhan's 15% of Priya's profit from the store ⇒ 15/100 * 12.6 = $ 1.8

Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 12.6 - 1.8 = $ 10.8

<em>* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *</em>
