consider first number is = x
formula,
(n / 2)(first number + last number) = sum,
7/2(x+x+6)= 945
2x+6= 945×2/7
2x+6 = 270
2x= 270-6
x=264/2= 132
Answer the smallest number is 132.

Answer:
The answer is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 7
Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
