Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that if you add 5% to the original cost, we have $168 as our cost. This means that 105% of the original cost is 168. Let's set up an equation to find the original cost. Let's call our original cost c.
To turn a percent into a decimal, you divide by 100.
1.05c=168
We divide both sides by 1.05.
c=160
Therefore, the original cost was $160.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
b is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
If we consider it as a combination problem, then we could calculate the how many combinations are there if we pick up three nodes out of six nodes, and then we have:

And the answer should be 20
To answer the question above we first need to know how much is the interest per year. In equation, 3% of $2500 is 75. 75 per year in 4 years is 300. So add $300 to the principal amount, the money after 4 years would be $2800.
Incomplete question. However, here is a similar question attached.
Solve 3x^2 + 17x - 6 = 0.
Based on the work shown to the left, which of these values are possible solutions of the equation? Check all of the boxes that apply
A X=-6
B X=6
C X=-1/3
D X=1/3
E X=0
Answer:
A and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that such question requires using completing the square method of solving equations. By using the values X= -6 and X= 1/3 we arrive at a solution.
