A chess set is on sale for $75.00, which is 40% off of its original price. What was the original price of the chess set?

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

Angelina wants to buy the same number of pens and pencils. Pens come in 8 packs and pencils come in packs of 9. What is the leas

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pack of pens = 8 pens

Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.

Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that

a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.

So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8

Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.

And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.
