Answer:

$51.70 is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40

ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.

Step 2:

Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price

x - 0.40x = 31.02  this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,

Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x

so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02

Step 3:

Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70

Yvette is starting a jewelry business. She spends $120 on supplies and makes 18 necklaces. She wants to earn a profit equal to 3
kiruha [24]

Yvette wants to earn a profit of $360, then. That means she has to make a total of $480. 480 divided by 18 is 26 and 2/3. That basically rounds up to $26.67.


480 = 18x


360 = 18x - 120


120(3) = 18x - 120


(I'm not that good at this, so don't take my word for it)
