I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying terms with exponents make the exponents add together.
13.) x² · x⁵ = x⁷
14.) b⁵ · b³ = b⁸
15.) y⁴ · y⁷ = y¹¹
16.) m⁴ · m¹ = m⁵
C because the x-axis and the y-axis are switched, basically.
Time = distance/speed
So all you have to do is plug the numbers in and you get the answer
Time = 1,250 kilometres/150 kilometres per hour
Time = 8.333 hours
