Find the original price of a pair of shoes that was discounted 20% and now sell for $54

<h2>$67.50</h2><h2 />

Original price = x

The original price of a pair of shoes was discounted 20%.

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

x * 0.8

Now they sell for $54.

x * 0.8 = 54

Solve to find x.

54 / 0.8 = x

x = 67.5

Convert that to currency.

<h2>$67.50</h2>

Two trains A and B are 240 miles apart. Both start at the same time and travel toward each other. They meet 3 hours later. The s
otez555 [7]

Answer: Train A = 50 mph; Train B = 30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, let's call the speed of both trains as:

Va: speed of train A

Vb: speed of train B

As train A is faster than train B, let's call speed of train B as X; So if Vb is X, then Va would be:

Vb = X

Va = X + 20

If we combine both Speed, we have:

V = Va + Vb = X + X + 20 = 2X + 20

Now that we have an expression for the combined speed, let's recall the formula for speed in general:

V = d/t

Where:

d: distance = 240 miles

t: time = 3 hours

Combining all the data we have:

V = 240/3

but V is 2X + 20 so:

2X + 20 = 240/3

Solving for X:

2X + 20 = 80

2X = 80 - 20

2X = 60

X = 60/2

X = Vb = 30 mph

Now that we know speed of one train, we can know the speed of the other train:

Va = 30 + 20 = 50 mph

the length of a rectangle is 5cm longer than twice the length of the width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 88, what Is the
o-na [289]
Width=x
length=2x+5
perimeter of a rectangle=2(length)+2(width)
We can suggest this equation:
88=2(2x+5)+2x

88=4x+10+2x
6x=88-10
6x=78
x=78/6
x=13

width=x=13
length=2x+5=2(13)+5=26+5=31

Answer: the width would be 13 cm.
