Answer: The original cost was $27,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he paid for a delivery van = $35,620

Rate of markup = 30%

We need to find the cost.

Let the cost of delivery van would be 'x'.

So, Amount of markup would be

$\dfrac{30}{100}\times x\\\\=0.3x$

Amount after mark up would be

$x+0.3x\\\\=1.3x$

According to question, it becomes,

$1.3x=35620\\\\x=\dfrac{35620}{1.3}\\\\x=27,400$

Hence, the original cost was $27,400.

Find Percentage of the selling price:

100% + 30% = 130%

Find 100% (Cost Price):

130% = $35 620

1 % = $274

100% = $274 x 100 = $27 400

Answer: The cost of the delivery van is $27400

First you convert the percentage into a decimal. 18% to 0.18, then you multiply that decimal to the price of the item being discounted and bam, you have your price.

First of all, we need all logarithms to have the same base. So, we use the formula

$\log_a(b)=\dfrac{\log_c(b)}{\log_c(a)}$

To change the second term as follows:

$\log_4(x^2)=\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{\log_2(4)}=\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{2}$

Finally, using the property

$\log(a^b)=b\log(a)$

we have

$\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{2}=\log_2(x)$

So, the equation becomes

$\log_2(3x+4)-7\log_2(x)+\log_2(x)=2 \iff \log_2(3x+4)-6\log_2(x)=2$

We can now use the formula

$\log(a)-\log(b)=\log\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)$

to write the equation as

$\log_2(3x+4)-6\log_2(x)=2 \iff \log_2(3x+4)-\log_2(x^6)=2 \iff \log_2\left(\dfrac{3x+4}{x^6}\right)=2$

Now consider both sides as exponents of 2:

$\dfrac{3x+4}{x^6}=4 \iff 4x^6-3x-4=0$

This equation has no "nice" solution, so I guess the problem is as simplifies as it can be
