Since 75% = 3/4
then $15 = 3/4 of the original price

Divide 15 ÷ 3 to get the 25% of the original price
(1/4 of the price)

15 ÷ 3 = 5

$5 is the 25% of the original price

so, if 25% + 75% = 100%
then $5 + $15 = $20

The original price for the sweaters was $20.

Tiana can clear a football field of debris in 3 hours. Jacob can clear the same field in 2 hours. If they decide to clear the fi
Lapatulllka [165]
Let us determine each of their rates of work:

Since Tiana can clear the field in 3 hours, meaning she can do 1/3 of the work per hour.

In the same way, Jacob can do 1/2 of the work per hour. 

Now, what would be the rate of work if they were working together? Let's look at it like this:

Hours to complete the job:
Tiana = 3
Jacob = 2
Together = t

Work done per hour:
Tiana = 1/3
Jacob = 1/2
Together = 1/t

If you add their labor together:

1/3 + 1/2 = 1/t
5/6 = 1/t
t = 6/2 = 1.2

Together, they can clear the field in 1.2 hours.
