Answer: Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a 20% profit. If he sold it for $4680, how much did Charles pay for the car?
---------------------------
Let the price he paid equal "x".
EQUATION:
x + 0.20x = 4680
1.2x = 4680
x = $3900 (price he paid for the car.
If its a parent then the answer would be 60
Answer:
D - (D/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's imagine that D equals 100 dollars -
Well, we know that to get 20% of an amount, we need to divide the amount by five. So let's do that -
100 / 5 = 20
We now know that 20% of 100 dollars is equal to 20 dollars. We have now finished the first part. On to the second part.
We now need to take away 20% of 100 dollars off of 100 dollars - this is the price of the item after the discount.
100 - 20 = 80 dollars.
We now fit in D instead of 100 dollars -
D - (D/5)
Answer:
Your table might look something like this:
The dads steps:
3
6
9
12
15
18
Sons steps:
5
10
15
20
25
30
You can notice the pattern. If dad walks 3 steps, son walks 5. If dad walks another 3, son walks another 5. And so on. This means dad walks 12 steps when the sin walks 20 steps.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 3:5. This means dad wlaks 3 steps so son must walk 5 steps basically. So.......... You can now create the table. Y I just have to multiply or divide each side ( of the colon:) so. Whatever you do to one side, you do to the other side. If you x3 on one side, you do it to other. Same goes for division. In the 'table' I did above, I x2 to get 6 and 10. Then I took the 3 and the 5 again and timsed those by 3. You can also change the 6 and the 10. So:
3:5
Then x2
6:10
Then I take the top layer (you can either choose to change the top layer, or layer above as long as you do the same thing to each side. Remember, only x and ÷. No + or-.) and I x3
9:15
Then I could take 9 and 15 and x5
45:75
It's crazy that all these. Ratios mena the same thing! 45 steps from dad would take the son 75 steps. You can also divide the last ratio of 45:75 to find the one you started with, 3:5.
So you get the idea.
It is probably best to do what I did in the table in the answer part because I did a pattern. Take the top layer, and x2, then x3, then x4, ect. Rather then doing random things.
