The 114 represents 80% of the total price before the sale. You would set up your equation as

Cost Price * 80% = Sale Price.

Sale Price = 114

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

Cost Price = 114/0.8

Cost Price = 142.50 which is the price before the deduction. You can confirm this by taking 20% of 142.50 and subtracting it form 142.50

20% * 142.50

20/100 * 142.50

2850/100

28.50

Now subtract 28.50 from 142.50

142.50 - 28.50 = 114 which is just what you might expect.

Kay [80]

Answer:

Las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos estimar la proporción de ingredientes mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

0.34= \frac{0.2\cdot m_{A} + 0.4\cdot m_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}} (1)

Donde:

m_{A} - Masa de la solución al 20 %, en onzas.

m_{B} - Masa de la solución al 40 %, en onzas.

Podemos simplificar la formula como sigue:

0.2\cdot x + 0.4\cdot (1-x) = 0.34 (2)

Donde x es la proporción de la solución al 20 % dentro de la solución final, sin unidades.

Ahora resolvemos para x en (2):

0.4-0.2\cdot x = 0.34

0.2\cdot x = 0.06

x = \frac{0.06}{0.2}

x = 0.3

Este resultado quiere decir que la solución al 34 % es el resultado de 30 % de la solución al 20 % y 70 % de la solución al 40 %. Si conocemos que la solución final tiene una masa de 50 onzas, entonces las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.
