40 % off means we pay 60 % (must total 100%)

change percent to decimal
original price * .6 = 36
divide each side by .6
orginal price = 60
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, it says that the company not only shipped packages, but also bought a number of stamps. From the equation 6.70+0.50x, it's fairly easy to say that 6.70 is the packages,
What's not so easy is figuring out whether or not 0.50 is the stamps, or x is. However, there's an easy way to figure it out!
From this one, we would have to use "common sense" (not my words, someone elses). Using "common sense", we have to think, can someone buy 0.50 of a stamp?
Technically yes... But would someone buy 0.5 of a stamp? Not really.
So we can safetly assume that x is the "stamp", and 0.50 is <em>the cost of the stamp</em>.
Hope this helps!
