Answer:
The original price is $650
Step-by-step explanation:
There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.
Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.
Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.
Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.
So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.
Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.
Answer:
x=1/2 or 0.5
B. 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one: Add x to both sides
you then get the equation 7=4x+5
Step two: subtract 5 from both sides
you then get the equation 2=4x
Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.
2/4=4x/4x
you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.
