Answer:37.4x
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 × 6 = 5 so 5/6 times 12= 10
Answer:
x = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Two angles are complementary as the sum of two angles is 90
x + 24 + x = 90 {Combine like terms}
2x + 24 = 90 {Subtract 24 from both sides}
2x = 90 - 24
2x = 66
x = 66/2
x = 33
The 114 represents 80% of the total price before the sale. You would set up your equation as
Cost Price * 80% = Sale Price.
Sale Price = 114
80% = 80/100 = 0.8
Cost Price = 114/0.8
Cost Price = 142.50 which is the price before the deduction. You can confirm this by taking 20% of 142.50 and subtracting it form 142.50
20% * 142.50
20/100 * 142.50
2850/100
28.50
Now subtract 28.50 from 142.50
142.50 - 28.50 = 114 which is just what you might expect.
