Answer:
fourth number is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' equal the fourth number
(5+7+7+x)/4 = 7
cross-multiply to get:
19 + x = 28
x = 9
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
8 = 4w/3 Original Problem.
4w/3 = 8 Flip Flopped the problem around.
4w = 24 Multiplied each side by 3.
w = 6 Divided each side by 4.
Answer: w = 6
