We set up a proportion: 12/200= ?/100
Cross multiply:
200*?= 12*100
⇒ ?= 12*100/200= 6
12 is 6% of 200~
The answer I came up with is 00934
Answer:
x = $200
The original price is $200
Question :
The price of a dress is reduced by 50%. When the dress still does not sell, it is reduced by 50% of the reduced price. If the price of the dress after both reductions is $50, what was the original price?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the dress.
First reduction
After first reduction the value of the price is given as;
p1 = x - 50% of x = (1-0.50)x = 0.5x
p1 = 0.5x
Second reduction
After the second reduction the value of the price is given as;
p2 = p1 - 50% of p1 = (1-0.50)p1 = (0.50)0.50x
p2 = 0.25x .....1
Since, p2 is given
p2 = $50
Substituting into equation 1
$50 = 0.25x
x = $50/0.25 = $200
x = $200
The original price is $200
<span>When creating a subset of 5 elements from 7 elements, order should not matter. Therefore, we use the combination formula over the permutation formula.
The combination formula given n elements total and r elements used is n! / [r!*(n-r)!]. Substituting 7 for n and 5 for r, we get:
7! / (5!*2!) = 7*6 / 2 = 21
21 subsets can be created</span>
