So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87
Well you can solve two step equations by multiplying or adding or subtracting or dividing by the number and put a n on the answer because there is only one n in equatioN see the solve the modle
-3 = x/-9
To make this easier, I'll put it in normal numbers
(-3 = x/-9) -1
3 = x/9
Multiply both sides by nine to take out the division.
27 = x
Hope that this helped!
Answer: The correct option is the third one; y=10(0.13)^x
To find how much of 5/8 is you would need to divide 1/2 by 5/8:
X = (1/2) / (5/8)
When dividing fractions, you reverse the second fraction and multiply:
X = (1/2) x (8/5)
X = 8/10
Simplify:
X = 4/5
