Answer:

$840

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we can use our formula for solving percents. \frac{Part}{Whole} = \frac{Percent}{100}

The part here is $714 because this is only 85% of the original price which is the whole. Our whole in this problem will be x. As for the percent, we will write 85.

We now have \frac{714}{x} = \frac{85}{100}

To solve this, we use the rules of a proportion. 714 * 100 = 71,400 and then we will divide that by 85 to find x. x = 840

So, the original price was $840.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

714  is 85%

the full price P is 100%

Using the ratio method

714 /85   =  P/100

TO find P cross multiply

85P = 714*100

85P = 71400

p = 71400/85  = $840

Ans yesterday's price = $840

or

85% of P = 714

.85*P =714

p = 714/.85

p = $840

The balance on Taylor's credit card is $2000 it has an interest rate of 12.5% she wants to compare the difference between paying
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

so she saved 82 cents in the interest the month after

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1: payment is $75

interest on 2000 = 0.125/12×2000 = $20.83

so the actual repayment on the balance = (75-20.83) = $54.17

therefore,balance =$(2000-54.7)=$1945.83

interest in the next month = $20.27

case 2: payment is $100

interest on 2000 is still $20.83

repayment = $79.73

balance = $1920.27

interest in the next month = 20.01

so she saved 82 cents in the interest the month after

3x+2-5x=10 what is X
Advocard [28]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x - 5 x + 2 = 10

Grouping like terms, 3 x - 5 x + 2 = 2 + (3 x - 5 x):

2 + (3 x - 5 x) = 10

3 x - 5 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 2 = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

(2 - 2) - 2 x = 10 - 2

2 - 2 = 0:

-2 x = 10 - 2

10 - 2 = 8:

-2 x = 8

Divide both sides of -2 x = 8 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 8/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 8/(-2)

The gcd of 8 and -2 is 2, so 8/(-2) = (2×4)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×4/(-1) = 4/(-1):

x = 4/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 4/(-1) by -1:

Answer:  x = -4
