Answer:

Let the original price be x

70% of x = 14

70x/100 = 14

70x/14 = 100

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

Therefore the original price = $20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 14 is 70% of the original price, the full price being 100%

We set up an equation to find 100%

14 = 70% //So we divide by 7 on both sides to get 10%

2 = 10% //Then times by 10 to get 100%

20 = 100%

As a general rule we always try to find 1%, 10%, 25%, or 50% of the original price, as these numbers are quite easy to multiply to 100%

What is the first step in solving ln(x − 1) = ln6 − lnx for x?

Stels [109]

Answer:

Option C - Simplify the right side using the "difference of two logs is the log of the quotient" property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $\ln (x-1)=\ln 6-\ln x$

To find : What is the first step in solving the expression ?

Solution :

Expression $\ln (x-1)=\ln 6-\ln x$

Step 1 - Simplify the right side using the "difference of two logs is the log of the quotient" property.

i.e. $\ln a-\ln b=\ln(\frac{a}{b})$

Apply the first step we get,

$\ln (x-1)=\ln(\frac{6}{x})$

Therefore, Option C is correct.
