Answer:

36.36

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express 10% as a decimal by multiplying it by (1/100), resulting in 0.1. Therefore, adding 0.1 of the original price, or x, to the price will result in 40, so x+0.1*x=40

          = 1.1x

Dividing both sides by 1.1, we get that x, or the original price, is $36.36 (approximately).

The numbers of cars (c) in the parking lot increases when the parking fee (f) decrease. Write the correct equation for this scen
vodka [1.7K]
So when one goes up, the other goes down. This is an inverse equation.

An inverse equation looks like this: y = 1/x

In this case, when parking fee (f) decreases, cars (c) increase.
You know which side to put each variable on using the chart they gave you.
f         | c
20.00  15        (20.00 = x/15) x=300
30.00  10        (30.00 = x/10) x=300

So your equation in this case is f = 300/c
Knowing that, plug in the fee of 6.00

6 = 300/c   Multiply both sides by c.
6c = 300    Divide both sides by 6.
c = 50 cars
