A hand-held digital music player was marked down by 1/4 of the original price.

1 answer:

3 0

It was marked down 1/4 of the original price to $128. That means $128 is equal to 3/4 of the original price. So the original price would be 4/3 of $128. I get $170.67 (rounded to the nearest cent).

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

goldenfox [79]

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

3/4 of p subtracted by 2 is 5/6 of a r plus 5

3/4 of p - 2 is 5/6 of r + 5

$\frac{3}{4} p-2= \frac{5}{6} r+5$ <--- answer?

$\frac{3}{4} p= \frac{5}{6} r+7$

$\frac{3p}{4} = \frac{5r}{6} +7$

$\frac{3p}{4}* \frac{6}{5r} = 7$

$\frac{18p}{20r} = 7$

$\frac{9p}{10r} = 7$

$\frac{p}{r} = 7* \frac{10}{9}$

$\frac{p}{r} = \frac{70}{9}$ <-- answer?

Hope this helps

The newspaper has 1200 readers because if 60 people is only 5%

if you divide 95 by 5 it is 19. 19 times 60 equals 1140. 1140 plus 60 equals 1200. 5% of 1200 is 60.
