<span>Okay, pretend the number equals X,
so x is 35%, and that would equal 7, so then
x is still 35/100 = 7
x = 7 which is 100/35
x = 700/35
x = 20
then you get the number = 20
I hope this was helpful, and good luck! :P</span>
Answer:
x = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x - (-5-x) = -9(2x-1) -1
-7x + 5 + x = -18x + 9 - 1
combine like terms:
-6x + 5 = -18x + 8
add 18x to each side of the equation:
12x + 5 = 8
subtract 5 from each side:
12x = 3
divide both sides by 12:
x = 3/12 = 1/4
Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
Hmmmm is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.
say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.
then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.
so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?
(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.
