I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
I'm gonna send you a picture because it'll explain the answer better
Part A)
Multiply the amount he earned by 8.5%
8.5% written as a decimal is 0.085.
75,000 x 0.085 = $6,375
Part B)
Subtract the amount of tax from his earnings:
75,000 - 6,375 = $68,625

Thales Theorem
For the first digit, you have two possible choices: 1 or 2. For *each* of those choices, you can choose 1 or 2 for the second digit in the number, and for each of *those*, you can choose 1 or 2 for the third digit of the number.
That’s 2 * 2 * 2 or 8 possible 3-digit numbers you can make with the digits 1 and 2.
