the SAS similarity theorem
Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
<span>Find
the gross pay of Mr. Anderson in a week.
He earns 200 dollars a week + 15% commission on over 1000 dollars sales.
In a week he earned 2500 dollars.
=> Pls, take note, that he can only get a 15% commission for over 1000
dollars sales he get.
=> 2 500 dollars – 1 000 dollars
=> 1 500 dollars, now in 1500 dollars get the 15% commission
=> 1 500 x .15
=> 225 + 200 (his original earnings)
=> 425 dollars.</span><span>

4x-6= 22
Move -6 to the other side.
Sign changes from -6 to +6.
4x-6+6= 22+6
4x= 22+6
4x= 28
Divide by 4 for both sides
4x/4= 28/4
x= 7
Answer : x= 7
