The full price is represented by 100%. If this computer was decreased by 20%, so it worth 80% now.

So, we can make a rule of three: 80% value is equals to 136, how much is 100%?

80% ------------ 136

100% ----------- x

Let's multiply "making a x":

80x = 136\cdot 100\\80x = 13.600\\x = \frac{13600}{80} \\x = 170

Therefore, the price before the decrease was £170.

Answer:

The original price is 170

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

x* .20 is the decrease

x - .20x = new price

.80x = new price

.8x = 136

Divide each side by .8

.8x/.8 = 136/.8

x =170

IgorLugansk [536]
According to the question, 
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,

y = 2n - 5  ........................this is your equation 
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.

Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now, 

Using unitary method,

Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
                                   = 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n

Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
