Answer:

C : $58.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A store holiday sale has an item marked down by $10.

Discount on new price = 25%

Final price was $36.27.

Question asked:

what was the original ?

Solution:

Let original price = $x$

New price = $x - 10$

Original price - marked down amount - discount amount = $36.27

$x - 10 -25\% of(x - 10 ) = 36.27\\$

$x - 10 - \frac{25}{100} (x - 10) = 36.27\\x - 10 - 0.25(x - 10) = 36.27\\x - 10 -0.25x +2.5 = 36.27\\0.75x - 7.5 = 36.27\\$

Adding both side by 7.5

$0.75x = 43.77\\$

Dividing both side by 0.75

$x = 58.36$

Therefore, the original price was $58.36

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12”?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic expressions are the idea of expressing numbers using letters or alphabets without specifying their actual values. The basics of algebra taught us how to express an unknown value using letters such as x, y, z, etc. These letters are called here as variables. An algebraic expression can be a combination of both variables and constants. Any value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable is a coefficient.

for example :-

3x + 4y – 7, 4x – 10, etc.

These expressions are represented with the help of unknown variables, constants and coefficients. The combination of these three (as terms) is said to be an expression. It is to be noted that, unlike the algebraic equation, an algebraic expression has no sides or equal to sign

let the quantity mentioned in the question be 'x'

therefore according to the statement the algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12 is

⇒2x - 12 (answer)
