<u>The original price of the sweater was $20.</u>

In this problem, 40% is the amount of discount. We can subtract 40% from 100% because our original price will always be 100%

We can now change this problem to 12 is 60% of what number?

12 is 60% of X

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for X

X = Y/P%

X = 12/60%

Converting percent to decimal:

P = 60%/100 = 0.6

X = 12/0.6

X = 20

Therefore, the original price of the sweater was $20

Answer:

The original cost was 20 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

$12 represents 60% of the original price.

Set up a proportion

  • 60/100 = 12
  • 100% = x

Cross multiply Reduce 100/100 to 1

60/100 * x = 12 * 100/100

Multiply by 100

60/ 100 * x = 12

Divide by 60

60x = 12*100

60x = 1200                                      

60x/60 = 1200/60

x = 20 dollars.

Solve the inequality. Check your solutions.
Komok [63]
The inequality is 

7- \frac{2}{b}\ \textless \ \frac{5}{b}

write 7 as 7b/b to have all the expressions in common denominator:

\frac{7b}{b} - \frac{2}{b}\ \textless \ \frac{5}{b}

\frac{7b-2}{b} \ \textless \ \frac{5}{b}

\frac{7b-2}{b}- \frac{5}{b}\ \textless \ 0

\frac{7b-2-5}{b}\ \textless \ 0

\frac{7b-7}{b}\ \textless \ 0

\frac{7(b-1)}{b}\ \textless \ 0

here b=1 is a root and b=0 is not in the domain of the expression, but it still has an effect in the sign of the expression.

the sign table of \frac{7(b-1)}{b} is :

+++++++[0] --------[1] +++++

this means that for values of b to the left of 0 and to the right of 1, the expression is positive, and for values of b in (0, 1), the expression is negative.

that is \frac{7(b-1)}{b}\ \textless \ 0 for b∈(0, 1)

Answer: (0, 1)
