Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

So we first subtract 25% from 100% so we can see what percent 15 is:

100 - 25 = 75 so 15 is 75% of ___:

This gives us a standard percentage problem, so:

75% = 0.75

we can rewrite the equation as a one-step equation:

15 = 0.75a

Dividing both sides by 0.75 and swapping sides gives

a = 15 ÷ 0.75 = 20

So the original price of the hat was $20

OR

because 25% is 1/4, and 75% is 3/4 and 15 is therefore 3/4:

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

Evaluate the expression 4(2x+y)-2y+z for x=-2, y=4 and z=-3

\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to solve:-}}}}

Before inserting the values of the variables, I recommend writing the equation in its simplest form.

First, use the distributive property and distribute 4:-

8x+4y-2y+z

Simplifying,

8x+2y+z

Now that the expression is in its simplest form, we can substitute the variables and simplify the expression.

First, write -2 in lieu of x:-

8(-2)+2y+z

-16+2y+z

Now, write 4 in lieu of y:-

-16+2(4)+z

-16+8+z

-8+z

Final step:-

write -3 in lieu of z:-

-8+(-3)

-8-3

-11

<h3>Good luck.</h3>
