100% of the price = $400
x % of the price = $320
we need to find x
using a proportion
100 : 400 = x : 320
100 * 320 = 400 * x
32000 = 400x
x = 32000 / 400
x = 80
That means the new price is 80% of the previous price.
100% - 80% = 20%
and based on this we can make a conclusion that the discount was 20%
I hope it is clear to you, feel free to ask anything about it :)
Answer:
y=3.5x-.5
Step-by-step explanation:
103 would be the correct answer
The equation given in the question is
(5x + 2)/2 = 2x - 1
5x + 2 = 2(2x - 1)
5x + 2 = 4x - 2
5x - 4x = - 2 - 2
x = -4
So the value of the unknown variable comes out to be -4. Yes your calculation is correct it seems from the answer that you have given. I hope i have been able to help you in this regard.Only be careful about the cross multiplication part.
