Answer:  $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the blu ray player be x.

Given : During a clearance sale an electronic store sold a blu ray player for $225 if items on sale were discounted by 75%.

75% = 0.75  [we divide percent by 100 to convert it into decimal]

According to the question , we have

x-0.75x=225\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25x=225\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{225}{0.25}=900

Hence, the original retail price of the blu ray player = $900.

Just do 225 times 100 divided by 75 to get your answers which would be 300.

Write an inequality for the given statement: The sum of x and 25 is less than 75.
Kaylis [27]
That statement would be best express by " x + 25 < 75 ". Since the statement says the sum of x and 25, thus, it will be x + 25. Then it also states that the sum is less than 75, so the best expression would be " < 75".

The sum of 9 and the product of a number and 5 is 24.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The number would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be written as

5x + 9 = 24

So to solve it, you have to isolate x:

5x + 9 = 24

5x + 9 - 9 = 24 - 9

5x = 15

5x÷5 = 15÷5

x = 3

Check:

5(3) + 9

= 15 + 9

= 24
