We are told that $168.00 represents 8% of the contract price; therefore,we know that
original price *( 8/100) = $168.00
Now, writing out "original price" is a bit space-consuming; therefore, we will just rename it and say
original price = OP
Then, our equation above can be written as
We solve for OP (original price) by multiplying both sides by 100 and then dividing by 8. This gives us
Hence, the original contract price is $2100.
Y=34 if 18 times 2 is 36 minus 2
Step 1. Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
GCF = 3m^2
Step 2. Factor out the GCF <span>(Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
3m^2(15m^2/3m^2 + -12m^3/3m^2)
Step 3. Simplify each term in parentheses
3m^2(5 - 4m)</span>
Divide the number 135 and 5. It is going to be 27. Then you multiply 27 times 4. Then you get your answer which is 108.
Proportion set up....
small 4 ? small
----- --------
big 5 135 big
Cross multiply 4x135= 540
and then divide 540/5= 108
