Which argument is valid?

1 answer:

8 0

1 - True. If a number is divisible by 12 it's divisible by 6 and thus by 3

2 - False. A rhombus needn't have square angles

3 - False. the second proposition is unrelated to the first one, and doesn't allow us to deduce that cats have fur.

4 - False - We cannot link the first and second proposition in any way to make the third

A product is now £50, the product was reduced by 20%, what was the original price

olga nikolaevna [1]

the original price is "x", or 100%.

but we know that if we reduce "x" by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, the 80% of "x" is really £50, what is "x" or the 100% anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 50&80 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{100}{80}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=250 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{250}{4}\implies x=62.5$
