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

Answer:

At the end of the day 797 lockers were closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first of all you need to find out how many even numbers there are from 1-900 (which is 450) so you know that 450 are open. In the 3 multiplication tables every second number is even so you know that half of the 450 lockers that was opened was closed again: this meant that 225 lockers remained open.

You also know that every number in the 4 multiplication tables is the second number in the 2 multiplication tables so half of them are closed but you also know that the 900th locker was opened so now you have 113.

So to conclude you do 900-113 which gives you 797 (this is because 113 is the amount of lockers that is open)
