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.

Andrews [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Johny Deposited 50000 rupees,

Jaleel 40000 and

Jaleel 20000 rupees

total deposits = 110,000

They got 3300 rupees as a profit in a month

Johny's investment in percent

50000/110000= 0.45%

Jaleel's investment in percent

40000/110000= 0.36%

Jaleel's(2) investment in percent

50000/110000= 0.18%

They will get

Johny =0.45*33000= 1485 rupees

Jaleel= 0.36*3300= 1188 rupees

Jaleel(2)= 0.18*3300=594 rupees

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the court didn't charge any legal fee to Jed and Jed also the lawyer for this case didn't charge him anything, Jed had personally planned to get $15,000. Subtracting the amount initially paid, $10,000, Jed still needs $5,000 from Alison. Assuming a fair judgement was made, giving Jed 2,000 and subtracting this from his expectation of $5,000 we remain with $3,000. Therefore, we can conclude that the $3,000 is the loss he should record out of this deal.
