The original price = what the woman paid + <span>discount
                           = 32.50 + 16 2/3
                           = 32.50 +  50/3

convert to one form of fractions (improper or decimal)
                           = 49 1/6
                           = 49.16


--------------------------------------

In case of 16 2/3 % discount of the original price:

price after discount = price before discount - discount
                               = x - 16 2/3 % of x
                               = x -  01667x
</span><span>                               = 0.833 x</span>
<span><span>                       32.5 = 0.833 x

then x = 32.5/0.833 = 39.015 =~ 39


</span>hope that helps
</span>

V-16=-32<br>I need help with the math worksheet how to solve the question
sergeinik [125]

You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.

... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b

... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0

... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V

_____

<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.

Which shows the correct method for solving the equation below?<br> 1/3 (y-9) =3
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{1}{3}(y-9)=3

Multiply by 3 both sides

3*(\frac{1}{3}(y-9))=3*3

(y-9)=9

Adds 9 both sides

(y-9)+9=9+9

y=18
