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

Jimmy gets a discount of 35% for a pair of sneakers with an original price of $70. He also gets a discount of 25% on a shirt wit
Tanya [424]
First find the total without using the dicounts. then do 70×.35 which is 35% as a decimal. your answer is the dicounts but that is how much you are taking off. .35×70= 24.5 then you would do 70-24.5=45.5 then do the same for the other amount. add these two amounts together. ( 30×.25=7.5 30-7.5= 22.5) 45.5+22.5= 68 then do your first answer - 68 and that is how much is saved

XB is the angle bisector of ZAXC. MZAXB23А.BVхC с
neonofarm [45]

To obtain x, we can sum the angles < AQB and < BQC

=> 5X + 8X - 24

=> 13X -24

we are also told that that the sum of their angles is 80

13X - 24 = 80

13 X = 24 + 80

13X = 104

Divide both sides by 13

x = 104/13

x = 8
