Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
I agree with what you did. You could also add y on both sides and get 3x = y + 5 and then divided by three to get...
x = 5 + y /3
(the 5 and y are being divided by 3)
But that's just complicated, it works, but it's complicated. What you did is correct and what I gave you is the value of x, but I'm 100 percent sure yours is correct.
Hope this helps

A) 95.8 % of £36 will be the new price
B) The answer to part A as a decimal is £34.488
C) The new price is £34.488
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that the price of a pedicure decreases by 4.2% from £36 on promotion
<em><u>A) What percentage of £36 will the new price be ?</u></em>
Given that £36 is decreased by 4.2 %
New price = 36 – 4.2% of 36
Now we have to find what percentage of £36 will the new price be
x % of 36 = 34.488
<em><u>B) Write your answer to part a as a decimal.</u></em>
Now, we have to find the new price in decimal form.
<em><u>C) Work out the new price.</u></em>
As we calculated, the new price is £34.488
Both are correct
