Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

The discounted price for a clearance sale = 30% of x

If the price tag after discounting = $199.

Using the relationship to find the original price x

Original price - discounted price = Current price tag after discounting

x - 0.3x = 199

0.7x = 199

Divide both sides by 0.7

0.7x/0.7 = 199/0.7

x = $284.29

Hence the suit's original price is approximately $284.29

3x + 1 < −2x + 8

Fantom [35]

Hello there!

The correct answer is B. Why? Well, we cannot choose A, because we don't have a multiplication sign. We cannot choose C because we also don't have a multiplication sign. However, since we have a PLUS sign and a Subtraction sign, we can say that the correct answer is option B.

3x + 1 < -2x + 8

We wanna start by subtracting 1 on both sides

3x + 1 - 1 < -2x + 8 - 1

3x < -2x + 7

Add 2x on both sides

3x + 2x < -2x + 7 + 2x

5x < 7

x < 7/5

A. (1.34)(5.46) = (1.76)(x)

Alja [10]

We are given an equation with an unknown variable x. We can find the value of x by dividing both sides by 1.76, as this will leave only x on the right hand side of the equation and its value on the left hand side, as shown below:

$(1.34)(5.46)=1.76(x) \\ \\ 
 \frac{(1.34)(5.46)}{1.76} = \frac{1.76(x)}{1.76} \\ \\ 
 \frac{(1.34)(5.46)}{1.76} =x \\ \\ 
4.16=x$

Thus solving the given equation, we get x =4.16, rounded of to nearest hundredth.
