Answer: x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are equal so we can set 47 = 3x + 2
Now just solve the equation for x
47 = 3x + 2
Subtract 2 from each side
45 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
15 = x
Answer: The number 5 in 56 is in the tenths place.
Substitute 15 for p and 12 for q in p + q. We get 15 + 12, or 27.
The raised price represents 110% of the original price (100% plus the extra 10%)
A percentage is converted into a decimal multiplier by dividing by 100:

To clarify the final stage, consider this (where

is the original price):


From here, basic algebraic rules make solving for

easy:

Therefore the original price of a ticket was $175
