Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let the original price = x

To begin with, we will convert the word problem into an equation as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18

Now, to find the original price we will simply make ( x ) the subject and solve accordingly as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( x / 2 ) = 18 + 8
( x / 2 ) = 24
x = 24 × 2
x = $48

CHECKING THE ANSWER:

In order to check if the answer is correct, simply substitute the value of x into the original equation and solve. If the left-hand and right-hand side are equivalent, then the answer is correct as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( 48 / 2 ) - 8 = 18
24 - 8 = 18
18 = 18

Therefore, the answer is:

x = $48

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50<br>16/36=12/27<br>15/20=24/26<br>or 4/16=2/14
jekas [21]
For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
