Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
125 is the amount of discount, so for example if p was 500 and discounted by 125 (p-125), you'd get 375(example of reduced price).
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to turn the ratio of 1 : 3 into a fraction
1:3 = 1/3
Next we need to square that fraction
1 x 1 = 1
3 x 3 = 9
Then we turn those numbers into a fraction
1/9
We turn the .5 into a fraction
.5/x
And cross multiply both fraction by each other
1/9 x .5/x
1 x X = X
9 x .5 = 4.5
So
4.5 = X
X would equal -6.5. I hope this helps.
-3 = x/-9
To make this easier, I'll put it in normal numbers
(-3 = x/-9) -1
3 = x/9
Multiply both sides by nine to take out the division.
27 = x
Hope that this helped!
