Let us assume the original price of the shirt = x
Let us assume the sale price of the shirt = y
20x/100 = y
x/5 = y
x = 5y
Now the second equation that we get is
x = y + 5
5y - y = 5
4y = 5
y = 5/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x = 5y
  = 5 (5/4)
  = 25/4
  = 6 1/4
Then we can say that the original price of the shirt was 6 1/4. The main trick of this problem lies in the words that have been used in the question. It is important to understand the question first before starting to solve the problem.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

30% of 90             

30% x 90              

30/100 =3/10              

3/10 x 90 = 270/10          

270 = 27     

90 - 27 = 63          

Keisha has to read 63 more minutes to reach her goal.

Write a question that matches this equation.<br><br> 42 ÷ n = 6
Arlecino [84]
If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).

If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
