Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.

Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02

This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is

10(x + 0.02)

= 10x + 0.2

Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that

20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x = 9.2 - 0.2

30x = 9

x = 9/30

x = 0.3

0.5 (2x + 2) = -4<br><br> Solve for x.
Ivanshal [37]

0.5(2x+2)=-4

Multiply by 2 on both sides

2x+2=-8

Subtract 2 on both sides

2x=-10

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=-5

a tune up automotive facility marks up its parts by 45%. suppose that the facility charges its customers 2.32 for each spark plu
V125BC [204]

Answer:

$1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of $2.32 already includes the 45% mark up hence taking the original cost to be x, it means the cost of $2.32 is 145% of the original cost

Using the concept of cross multiplication we say that if

1.45 is equivalent to $2.32

1 is equivalent to x

x=\frac {2.32}{1.45}=1.6

Therefore, the company incurs $1.6 for each plug
