The problem states that the current value is $350 and that is the original price plus 40%, that is $350 is the 140%, the question is how much is the 100%, or the original price, lets use a rule of three, simple, direct proportion:
140% --------> $350
100% --------> x
x = (100)(350)/140
x = 250
that is the original price, $250
Massage me if it’s not clear
Hope it’s right
Best luck with your studying
3x-6+1=-2x-5+5x
3x+2x-5x=6-1-5
10x=0
x=0
I would be almost certain that it must be racial 16, though I have no idea what that means.
