Answer:
buying price = $15,500
Step-by-step explanation:
selling price 20% more than the buying price
let the buying price be 100% then;
selling price = 120%
120% = $18,600
100% = ?
(100 × 18600) ÷ 120
= $15,500
The answer is
X =3
because they both equal the amounts given
Answer:
$637.95
Step-by-step explanation:
convert 8.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100:
8.5÷100= 0.085
then multiply.
587.98×(0.085)=49.97
now add.
587.98+49.97=<u>637.95</u>
The answer I get
8=24

Answer:
x = 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You could simplify the given equation first, then solve the resulting 2-step linear equation. It might work better to undo the operations done to the variable.
<h3>Solution</h3>
(5 1/6 -x)(2.7) -5 3/4 = -1 1/4 . . . . . given
(5 1/6) -x)(2.7) = 4 1/2 . . . . . . . add 5 3/4 to both sides
(5 1/6 -x) = 4.5/2.7 = 5/3 . . . divide by 2.7
31/6 -10/6 = x . . . . . . . . . . add x-5/3, use common denominators
21/6 = x = 7/2
x = 3 1/2
