Its A. 10,000 divided by 250 is 40. Then multiply 40 by 2 and you get 80
10,000 / 250 = 40
40 * 2 = 80
80= A.
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It 14
In order to find the original price, we need to divide by 4. This is because the price was reduced by 20%, it is 4/5 of the original price.
By dividing by 4, we can see that 90.40 is 22.60.
To find the original price, we add 22.60 (1/5 of the original price), to 90.40 (4/5 the original price) to find that $113 is the original price.
