Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

You will set the equation up as part/whole = percent/100 and when you replace it with your numbers you get 60/x = 80/100 now you cross multiply and do 60*100 = 80 * x and you get 6,000 = 80x now you divide both sides by 80 then you get 75 was the original price

Simplify completely 8x^3 ÷ 6x^2 - 4x / -2x

artcher [175]

Answer:

Simplified form is $-(\frac{8x^{3}}{3x-2})$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $8x^{3}\div \frac{6x^{2}-4x}{-2x}$

We can rewrite the given expression as $= 8x^{3}\times (-\frac{2x}{{6x^{2}-4x}})$

Further simplification of the expression gives $=\frac{-16x^{4}}{6x^{2}-4x}$

$=\frac{-16x^{4}}{2x(3x-2)}$

$=-(\frac{8x^{3}}{3x-2})$

So the simplified of the given expression is $=[tex]-(\frac{8x^{3}}{3x-2})$
