Answer:

$130

Step-by-step explanation:

If the customer used a $10 coupon and paid $152.50 for the tent, that means that without the coupon, the price would be 10 + 152.50 = $162.50

This price is a result of a 25% increase in the old price, so let's call this price '1.25*X'

Then, we can solve for the value of X, that is the original price:

1.25*X = 162.5

X = 162.5/1.25 = $130

The original price of the tent is $130.

Answer:

The original price of the tent was $130,00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the tent will be called "x". The store increased the value by 25%, so the new value is the original one plus 0.25 of the original one, so the new value is 1.25*x. The costummer paid the increased value less the $10 from the coupon, so we have:

paid = 1.25*x - 10

Since he paid $152.5 for the tent we can compute the original value as shown bellow:

152.5 = 1.25*x - 10

1.25*x = 152.5 + 10

1.25*x = 162.5

x = 162.5/1.25 = 130

The original price of the tent was $130,00.

Naddik [55]

Answer: 15/7 2 1/7

Step-by-step explanation: First divide 8x-3=x+12 Then add 3 to both sides.

8x=x+15 Subtract x from both sides. 7x=15 Then divide again so 7/7 and 15/7. If you simplify it become 2 1/7

find the value of a and b for which the system of equations has infinitely many solutions : 2x + 3y = 7 ; (a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a +
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a= 5    and   b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

2x + 3y = 7

(a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a + b - 2​

We should note that since it has infinitely many solutions then,

\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2} }   =  \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2} }  = \frac{c_{1} }{c_{2} }

Hence

2/a-b  =  3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

2/a-b  =  3/a+b

cross-multiply

3(a-b) = 2( a+b)

open the bracket

3a - 3b = 2a + 2b

collect like term

3a - 2a = 2b + 3b

a = 5b  -------------------------------------------(1)

Similarly

3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

cross-multiply

7(a+b)  = 3(3a+b -2)

7a + 7b = 9a + 3b -6

take all the variables to the left-hand side of the equation

7a - 9a+ 7b-3b =   -6

-2a + 4b = -6 ---------------------------------(2)

but a = 5b

substitute a= 5b in equation (2)   and solve for b

-2(5) + 4b = -6

-10  +  4b  = -6

add 10 to both-side of the equation

-10  + 10+ 4b  = -6+10

4b = 4

divide both-side of the equation by 4

b = 1

substitute b= 1 in equation (1)

a = 5b

a =5(1)

a=5

Therefore,   a= 5    and   b=1
