The answer is $30.

We know discounted price of the shoes - $24.
We need to find out the original price of the shoes - x.

The discounted price is 80% of the original price (it is said that <span>shoes have been discounted 20%, so 100-20= 80%).

Let's set up a proportion. If $24 is 80%, how much is 100% (the original price):
$24 : 80% = x : 100 %

After crossing the products:
x = $24 * 100% / 80% = $30

Let's just check the result. After the discount of 20%, shoes will cost:
$30 - 20% = $30 - $30*(20/100) = $30 - $6 = $24.

</span><span>The original price of the shoes is $30.</span>

Maya is helping a gardener plant 300 bulbs. They plant 20% of the bulbs on Monday and 30% of the bulbs on Tuesday. Maya says thi
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

because the total is 300 not 100 so 50 is not reasonable because that is the percentage they planted and since it is more than 100 then it should be a percent of 300 not 100. Maya is wrong about placing 50 bulbs instead they placed 150.

<h3>Answer:  15 years old</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)

4m = four times her age

4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age

Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.

m+(4m-7) = 68

5m-7 = 68

5m = 68+7

5m = 75

m = 75/5

m = 15

Maggie is currently 15 years old.

Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.
