Answer:
let x =the original price
then 116x/100=$39.32
116x=100×39.32
116x=3932
divide both sides by 116
116x/116=3932/116
x=33.89655
(2dp)
x=33.90
Answer:
Bob forgot to distribute 3 to 1.50 in the parentheses
Step-by-step explanation:
Bob made the mistake in his first step.
In the equation 3(x + 1.50) = 30, the 3 has to be distributed to both x and 1.50.
But, Bob only distributed it to x, which led him to get the wrong answer.
So, Bob's mistake when solving was that he forgot to distribute the 3 to 1.50
This is impossible for a triangle to have however, your description perfectly matches a square or a rectangle
