m = 5a
m + a = 30
Because we already know the value of m, we can find the value of a.
5a + a = 30
<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>
6a = 30
<em><u>Divide both sides by 6</u></em>
a = 5
Now that we know the value of a, we can find the true value of m.
m = 5a
m = 5 * 5
m = 25

Answer:
The full price was $176.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, solve backwards. Since the total is $100, you subtract $12 from it, which leaves you with $88. You then multiply $88 by 2 (for the half price).
