Use this equation to solve the problem:
x - (x * .25) = 40
This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.
x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33
The original price was $53.33
Division because if you divide the two functions together, you keep the 3 in the x term. If you add the two functions, your coefficient is 6. If you subtract, the x term is eliminated. If you multiply, you'll get 9x.
3 is smaller than 6 or 9 :)
Answer:
To divide one fraction by another one, flip numerator and denominator of the second one, and then multiply the two fractions. The flipped-over fraction is called the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal.
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this from google.
If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)
Answer: 26.7 is 13% of 89
