The price of a pair of shoes after a 25% discount was $18.50. what was the original cost?

1 answer:

7 0

After a 25% discount...means that u paid 75%

so 75% of the original cost is 18.50...
0.75x = 18.50.....with x being the original cost
x = 18.50 / 0.75
x = 24.666 rounds to 24.67 <==

x = All real numbers or 0.

First you should distribute both sides of the equation. This gives you 42x+42=42x+42.

Then, subtract 42 from both sides. This gives you 42x=42x.

Now, divide 42 on both sides. This gives you x=0 or all real numbers.

dmitriy555 [2]

The area of a parallelogram is $A=bh$

$A=10(18.5) \\ A=185$

I am assuming you're asking for the entire parking lot, so you would have to multiply the above area by 916

$185(916) = 169,460 ft^{2}$

So the answer is (D)
