Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
s = n(a + 1)
n(a + 1) = s
a + 1 = s/n
a = s/n - 1
X - $42.15 > $20.00
<u> + $42.15 + $42.15</u>
x > $62.15
Lets just use

for an example. If the number is increased by 60% and the denominator is decreased by 20% we get the new fraction being:

. Since then new one is equal to 1, and the original is equal to

, we see that this manipulation of the fraction causes an increase of 100%.
Answer:
<em>The total price of the CD is $14.18</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages
</u>
We can compute additive or subtractive percentages by using these formulas. If we have a number X and want to increase it by Y%, then the increase is xY/100. Thus the new value for the number is x+xY/100 or equivalently

If we want to decrease by Z%, the new value is

The regular price for a CD is X=$15. The CD is Z=10% off, so the sale price is

But we have to add the tax of Y=5%, so the final value is

The total price of the CD is $14.18
