Answer:
The original price is 337.50
Step-by-step explanation:
If we get 20% off, we still have to pay 100-20 =80%
Let x be the original price
x *80% = 270
.80x = 270
Divide each side by .80
.80x/.80 = 270/.80
x =337.50
The original price is 337.50

Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent Donald's age now. Then Natali's age now is d+38. The age relationship 5 years ago was ...
(d+38) -5 = 3(d -5)
d +33 = 3d -15 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
48 = 2d . . . . . . . . . . . add 15-d
24 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Donald is 24 years old now.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can also work this by considering that 5 years ago, Natalie's age was more than Donald's age by twice Donald's age then. Hence Donald was 38/2 = 19 at that time. Now, Donald is 19+5 = 24.
