Answer:
x = 5/7 = 0.714
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
Answer:
40% = 72
divide both sides by 40 to find 1%
1% = 1.8
now multiply by 100 to find total amount earned
100% = 180
total earned $180
Division property of equality. They are dividing -5 to both sides.

The intersection of both lines.
