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

A 3 L bottle of oil costs $36 and contains 12 cups. Dinesh puts 1 cup of oil, 10 garlic gloves and 1 cup of
saul85 [17]

The correct answer is $15

Explanation:

The first step is to determine the total of oil that was used for the 5 batches. To find this, you just need to multiply the amount of oil used for one batch by the total batches.

1 cup of oil per batch x 5 batches = 5 cups of oil

This means, in the 5 batches the oil Dinesh used was 5 cups of oil. Additionally, you know the total of cups in the bottle of oil is 12 cups, and these 12 cups or total costs $36. Now to find what is the cost of the 5 cups use the rule of three and cross multiplication.

12 cups of oil = $36   1. Write the values

5 cups of oil  = x      

12 x = 180           2.  Cross multiply this means 36x 5 and 12 multipy by x

x = 180 ÷ 12        3. Solve the equation

x=  15 - Cost for 5 cups used in the batches

Vesna [10]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

t represents time (probably years).

The population of bobcats can't be negative, so negative values in the range do not make sense.

The function is continuous, but you're probably only looking at discrete values.
