180 divided by 3, then multiplied by 4 ($240)

So
100%=original
25% discount
100-25=75
it is 180 sale
75%=180
find 100%

a hack is to recognize that 75/3 times 4=100 so
75%=180
divide 3
25%=60
times 4
100%=240


the real way is proportions
75:180 =100:x
75/180=100/x
multiply both sides by 180x
75x=18000
divide 75
x=240



origitnal price=$240

Some number was divided into 42. This quotient was then multiplied by 8,after which the resulting product was added to 10. Given
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the initial number, we need to create the expression that is being mentioned and solve for the initial value by applying the opposite expressions to isolate the variable.

(((x / 42) * 8) + 10) = 34   ... subtract 10 from both sides

((x / 42) * 8) = 24 ... divide both sides by 8

(x / 42) = 3  ... multiply both sides by 42

x = 126

Finally, we can see that the initial value was 126

Test-preparation organizations like Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc. often advertise their services by claiming that students gain
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

High school students and their parents are often bombarded with SAT test prep applications as they get closer to the college application process. Exam preparation offers arrive in the mail; they are sent home by schools, and they are not cheap. (The Princeton Review "Ultimate Classroom" course costs $ 1,199 in New York City.) When students take these courses and do not see their scores improve, parents may wonder if their children have studied enough or if they have wasted their money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous year, the NACAC released a report concluding that exam preparation courses have minimal impact on improving SAT scores: approximately 10-20 points on average in math and 5-10 points on critical reading. The Association for college administration report also noted that this evidence is "contrary to claims made by many test preparation providers of large increases of 100 points or more on the SAT."

Kathleen Steinberg, a College Board spokeswoman, says that, on average, students who take the SAT twice only "increase their scores by about 30 points."

He further disclose that "The College Panel does not indorse taking the SAT more than twice, as there is no evidence to indicate that taking the test more than twice increases grade performance."

Parents might also be surprised at the actual average SAT scores: 501 in critical reading, 515 in math, and 493 in writing, according to Steinberg. (The highest score you can get in any section is 800).

Kaplan claimed that The Princeton Review's claims for score breaks were based on comparing the results of Princeton Review's "diagnostic" tests with the students' self-reported scores on the actual SAT tests, as opposed to SAT scores previous and after.
