Answer:
50 and 30.94
Step-by-step explanation:
The coat cost 46.5 pounds after a 7 percent reduction
so we can write:
- 46.5⇒ (100-7)⇒ 93 percent
- x(the initial price) ⇒ 100 percent
using the proprtionality relation:
x= (100*46.5)/93 = 50
so the initial price of the coat is 50 pounds
The jumper costs 32.8 pounds after an increase of 6 percent
so:
- 32.8⇒(100+6)⇒ 106 percent
- x (the initial price)⇒ 100 percent
using proportionality:
x= (100*32.8)/106 = 30.94
the initial price is 30.94 pounds
-2(x+9)-6=-24
-2x-18-6=-24
2x=0
x=0
2(x+9)-6=-24
2x+18-6=-24
2x=-36
x=-18
First find the absolute value of -16.75. |-16.75|= 16.75
Then multiply that by 2. 16.75x2=33.5
So 2|-16.75| simplified is 33.5
