I hope this helps!
Answer:
Sales price = $78
Original price = $61
Step-by-step explanation:
Ulian bought the shows for $120 at a specialty store. This discount store had it at $42 less. The price at the discount store is therefore:
= 120 - 42
= $78
The shoes at the discount store are 61% off and the discounted price is $78. Assume the original price is x. The original price will be:
x - (x * 61%) = 78
x - 0.61x = 78
0.39x = 78
x = 78/0.39
x = $200
Answer:p = -1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3 + 17p = -32 + -11p
Solving
3 + 17p = -32 + -11p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '11p' to each side of the equation.
3 + 17p + 11p = -32 + -11p + 11p
Combine like terms: 17p + 11p = 28p
3 + 28p = -32 + -11p + 11p
Combine like terms: -11p + 11p = 0
3 + 28p = -32 + 0
3 + 28p = -32
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 28p = -32 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 28p = -32 + -3
28p = -32 + -3
Combine like terms: -32 + -3 = -35
28p = -35
Divide each side by '28'.
p = -1.25
Simplifying
p = -1.25
it's either a or b, not sure but I think it's b
