Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST <br><br> 5 = h/3 - 17 <br> h = ?<br> (h/3 is a fraction)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

h = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of one variable h and we have to solve the equation for h.

The equation is given by 5 = \frac{h}{3} - 17

⇒ 5 + 17 = \frac{h}{3} {Adding 17 to both sides}

⇒ 22 = \frac{h}{3}

⇒ h = 22 × 3 {Since we know that if \frac{a}{b} = c then we can write a = bc}

⇒ h = 66 (Answer)
