Answer:

The original price was 780.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the computer

The sales tax is x* .08

The total price is x + .08x = 1.08x

This is equal to 842.50

1.08x = 842.50

Divide each side by 1.08

1.08x/1.08=842.50/1.08

x =780.09

The original price was 780.09

Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what’s the percentage change
weeeeeb [17]
Hi there! 

Your question: 

Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what's the percentage change?

My answer:

The formula for calculating percent change is as follows: 

[(y2 - y1)/y1]*100=your percent change 

y2= first value 
y1=second value 

Plug the numbers in: 

[(300-270)/300]*100

[30/300]*100

0.1*100

10 

Therefore, the percent change is 10%

Hope this helps! Let me know if it's incorrect so I can fix it:)
