Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)
Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is
0.75(x + 18)
Applying the distributive property, it becomes
0.75x + 13.5
Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that
0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5
0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5
0.75x = 18
x = 18/0.75
x = $24
Answers:
a. 0.5 people
b. 10 spring rolls will serve 5 people, 16 spring rolls will serve 8 people, 25 spring rolls will serve 12.5 people
c. n/2 or 1/2 of n
Step-by-step explanation:
if 6=3p, p representing each person, then we find that 2 spring rolls serve 1 person, so 1 spring roll serves 0.5 people!
if 1=0.5p, then p is 1/2 of the amount of spring rolls.
Divide each of the amount of spring rolls by 2.
10=5p
16=8p
25=12.5p
n=n/2
The variable p is important, as to show that it's the amount of people.
Hope this helps!
