Ann has the 5 newest music CD's which is 3 less than twice the amount that Bob has.

1 answer:

8 0

We can write it down as:

5 = 2x - 3 / + 3 (both sides)
8 = 2x / : 2 (both sides)
x = 4

Bob has 4 CDs. Let's check it:

5 = 2 * 4 - 3
5 = 8 - 3
5 = 5

Correct.

A book was on sale for 40% off its original price. If

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Option C: $30 is the original price of book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of book be x

Given that:

Sale price = x - 40% of x

As it is given that the sale price was $18

So,

$18 = x - 40% of x

By simplifying:

$18 = x - 0.4x

$18 = 0.6x

Dividing both sides by 0.6:

x = $18/0.6

x = $ 30

So the original price of book will be $30

i hope it will help you!
