Equation to find original price if sale price of $429 is a 34% discount

Mathematics
1 answer:
Burka [1]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The original price is $650

Step-by-step explanation:

There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.

Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.

Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.

Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.

So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.

Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.

Hey there,

2w+10 would be the best choice here.
Sorry if I'm wrong, good luck!

6( 5-8x) +12= -54
UkoKoshka [18]
<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54 
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54  
-42        -42 
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>
