Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an original price p

We mark them up by 50%

p + p*50%

Changing to decimal form

p+.50p = 1.5p

The new price is 60 dollars

1.5p = 60

Divide each side by 1.5

1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5

p =40

The original price is 40

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the cost

150% of C = 60

150/100 × C = 60

C = 60 × 100/150

C = 40

The length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times the width. What is the length?

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Let the width of the Rectangle be x inches

Then, length is (3x-5) inches

Perimeter of the Rectangle= 46 inches (given)

According to the above problem,

Equation :---- Perimeter=2(length+breadth)

<u>2{(3x-5)+x}=46</u>

2(4x-5)=46

(4x-5)=46/2=23

4x=(23+5)=28

x=28/4

So, length of the Rectangle is {(3×7)-5}=16 inches

and width is= 7 inches
