80% is equal to 220

1) Set up a proportion:
80/100=220/x

2) Simplify:
4/5=220/x

3) Solve by cross-multiplying:
4x=1100
x=275

Original Price: 275

80% of p = 220 (We know this as the sale price is 20% off, so there is still 80%)

0.8p = 220

p = 220/0.8 (This is because we are making p the subject of the formula)

p = 275 (If you are not allowed to use a calculator for this, then: 220/0.8 is the same as 2200/8 because we are just simply multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10. This can be simply worked out by long division)

Solve the system by the substitution method.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations

x-3y=-4-------------------------------(1)

y=-3x+8.------------------------------(2)

Substitute 2 in 1. This means use the value of y in equation 1, to replace y

x-3(-3x+8)=-4------------------open brackets

x+9x-24=-4---------------------collect like terms

10x=-4+24

10x=20---------------------------divide by 10 both sides to get value of x

10x/10=20/10=2

x=2------------------------------use value of x in equation (2) to get value of y

y=-3x+8

y=-3(2)+8

y=-6+8=2

solutions

x=2, y=2
