Answer: Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the clock be "x "

<em>The clock is then resold to a collector = x + 20% of "x "</em>

<em>= x + 0.2x</em>

<em>= 1.2x</em>

Now, the shop re-buy the clock at a price = <em>Reselling\ price \times 0.50</em>

<em>= 1.2x \times 0.5</em>

<em>= 0.6x </em>

Therefore,

<em>Original Cost - Buy-Back price = $100</em>

<em>⇒ x - 0.6x = 100</em>

<em>⇒ x = 250  </em>

Hence , the selling price of the clock for the second time is

<em>= 1.8\times0.6\times250</em>

<em>= $270 </em>

<em></em>

2(x + 2) + 3z = 2(x + 1) +1
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Answer:x=

−3z−1

0

Step-by-step explanation:x=

Step 1: Add -2x to both sides.

2x+3z+4+−2x=2x+3+−2x

3z+4=3

Step 2: Add -3z to both sides.

3z+4+−3z=3+−3z

4=−3z+3

Step 3: Add -4 to both sides.

4+−4=−3z+3+−4

0=−3z−1

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.

0

0

=

−3z−1

0

x=

−3z−1
