Tom paid $245.97 for a laptop. This was 3/5 of the original price. What was the original price?

Let's make the mysterious, original price not-so-mysterious by calling it <em>x. </em>245.97 is 3/5 of x.

We can equation this.

245.97 = 3/5x

x = 245.97 / (3/5)

x = 409.95

The answer, I believe, is $409.95. Hope this helps!

What happens to the decimal point when we multiply a whole number by 100?
baherus [9]
There is a similar shortcut for multiplying decimal numbers by numbers such as 10, 100, and 1000: Move the decimal point to the right as many places as there are zeros in the factor. Move the decimal point one step to the right (10 has one zero). Move the decimal point two steps to the right (100 has two zeros).

If i read 60 pages in 1 5/12 hours how long will it take me to read 120 pages
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion

60: 1 5 /12 = 120 : x

60: 17/12 = 120:x

Product of extremes = product of mean

60*x = (17/2)*120

60*x=\frac{17}{12}*120\\\\60*x=17*10\\\\x=\frac{17*10}{60}\\\\x=\frac{17}{6}\\\\x=2\frac{5}{6}

It will take  2 5/6 hours to read 120 pages
