We need to write an expression to solve this problem. We do as follows:

(1 - .85)x = 75
x = 75 / (1-.85)
x = 75 / .15
x = 500

Therefore, the original price of the machine would be 500. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

a) y = 9.95(x-3) + 20.00

b) Cost of 5 software packages = $39.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of 3 software at sale = $20

Cost of regular = $9.95

Let,

x be the number of software purchased.

We will subtract 3 from x because they cost $20.

y be the total cost.

y = 9.95(x-3)+ 20.00

Putting x=5 in expression

y = 9.95(5-3) + 20.00

y = 2(9.95) + 20.00

y = 19.90 + 20.00

y = $39.90

Hence,

a) y = 9.95(x-3) + 20.00

b) Cost of 5 software packages = $39.90
