Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that if you add 5% to the original cost, we have $168 as our cost. This means that 105% of the original cost is 168. Let's set up an equation to find the original cost. Let's call our original cost c.

To turn a percent into a decimal, you divide by 100.

1.05c=168

We divide both sides by 1.05.

c=160

Therefore, the original cost was $160.

Have a wonderful day! :D

KATRIN_1 [288]
A] Given that the last years's sales was $144,600 and this years sales should increase by 1/3. Then:
i] Amount the sales should increased by will be:
(last year's sales)*(increase)
=144,600*(1/3)
=48,200

ii] The sales in the new year will be:
(last year's sales)+(increase)
=144600+48600
=$192, 800

2] Given that the sales of hifi which included 6% tax was 205,000. The actual sales was:
Actual percentage sales=100%
percentage sales after taxation=100-6=94%
thus the  actual sales was:
(100)/(94)*205,000
=218, 085.1064

3]Given that the rate per $100 is $0.83, and the insurance was for 90000, the insurance premium will be:
(total insurance) *(unit rate)/(number of units)
plugging the values we obtain:
90000*0.83/100
$747
