Your original price would have been $16.23

Take the new markup price and divide it by the percent it was marked up

17.85 / 1.10 = 16.227

1.10 represents 110%

Round your ending number because there are only two place holders after the decimal for calculating prices. By doing this we change $16.227 to $16.23.

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions. <br> 2|7−7x|=2x+4
Vesna [10]

2|7 − 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

7 - 7x = x + 2   or   7 - 7x = -(x + 2)

-8x = -5   or   7 - 7x = -x - 2

x = 5/8   or -6x = -9

x = 5/8   or   x = 9/6

x = 5/8   or   x = 3/2

To check for extraneous solutions, we check both solutions in the original equation.

<em>Check solution 5/8:</em>

2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

|7 - 7 * 5/8| = 5/8 + 2

|56/8 - 35/8| = 5/8 + 16/8

21/8 = 21/8

<u>Solution x = 5/8 works.</u>

<em>Check solution 3/2:</em>

2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

|7 - 7 * 3/2| = 3/2 + 2

|14/2 - 21/2| = 3/2 + 4/2

|-7/2| = 7/2

7/2 = 7/2

<u>Solution 3/2 also works.</u>

Answer: x = 5/8 or x = 3/2

Brooke went to the hardware store and bought 20 identical copper pipes. When Brooke lined up the pipes end-to-end, the line was
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore, since Brooke went to the hardware store and bought 20 identical copper pipes and their total length is 1 meter long which is 100cm, the length of each pipe will be the title length of the Pipe divided by the number of pipes. This will be:

= 100 / 20

= 5cm each.

Each pipe is 5cm long.
