x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (2x - 36) = 180
3x - 36 = 180
3x = 180 + 36
3x = 216
x = 216/3
x = 72
Answer:
R290.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = charge before he put his prices up
New charge = R320
Percentage increase in price = 7%
x + 7% of x = 320
x + 0.07 * x = 320
x + 0.07x = 320
1.07x = 320
x = 320/1.07
x = 299.06542056074
Approximately
x = R290.1
Charge before he put his prices up = R290.1
