If a Play Station was bought for $450 after a 10% discount what was the original price of the Play Station?

1 answer:

7 0

If it was bought after 10% discount, it means it was bought at 90% of the original price:
90% = $450
1% = $5
100% = $5 x 100
100% = $500

The original price of the Play Station was $500.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$a=\frac{3\times 7}{7}+\frac{12}{7}$ (First step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fraction)

$a=\frac{33}{7}\text{ m/s}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given Expression: }a=a_1+\frac{F}{m}$

where,

a is acceleration of an object.(Need to calculate)

$a_1=3.00\text{ m/s}^2$

$F=12.0\text{ Kg.m/s}^2$

$m=7.00\text{ kg}$

$\text{Substitute }a_1, \text{ F, and m into expression and we get}$

$a=3+\frac{12}{7}$

Now we will simplify above expression for a

First we make common denominator.

Common denominator is 7. So, we make both denominator 7. We multiply by 7 at top and bottom with 3. We get

$a=\frac{3\times 7}{7}+\frac{12}{7}$ (First step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fraction)

Now we combine the numerator

$a=\frac{21+12}{7}$

$a=\frac{33}{7}\text{ m/s}^2$

Artemon [7]

For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x

Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
