Hey there! I’m just going to write out how I would solve this.
3,000=7.5%⋅x
100/7.5=13 1/3
3,000⋅13 1/3=x
x=$40,000
To get the reciprocal, simply flip the numerator and denominator. The reciprocal of 3/10 is 10/3.
Find cost of shoes first (7.50)
subtract from the total value (55.20-7.50= 47.7)
then divide by 5.30 (47.7/ 5.3= 9)
Due to the order of operations the correct answer is 6+2*5=16
