Decreased by 20% means multiplied by 80%
80% of number=20
divide both sides by 4
20% of number=5
times 5 both sides
100% of number=25

the number is 25

Rose bought a bag of potatoes for $6.00 and some granola bars for $5.25 per package. Her total bill was $74.25. How many package
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Rose bought 14 packages of granola bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill = 1 bag of potatoes + x amount of packages of granola bars

Total bill = $74.25

1 bag of potatoes = $6.00

1 package of granola bar = 5.25

We set the equation to:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25x

Subtract 6.00 from both sides:

68.25 = 5.25x

Divide both sides by 5.25 to leave x by itself

68.25/5.25 = 5.25x/5.25

13 = x

This means Rose bought 13 packages of granola bars.

Let's recheck our work by inputting x = 13 into the equation:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25(13)

74.25 = 6.00 + 68.25

74.25 = 74.25

X=12
0.75x + 5=14
Take away 5 on both sides
So 0.75x +5-5=14-5
0.75x=9
0.75x divided by 9 = 12
