<h3>Answer:  50 dollars</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = original price

y = sale price

d = discount = amount saved

d = 12% of x = 0.12x

y = x - d = x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Note how 0.88 = 88%, and this represents the percentage you have to pay if you get 12% off.

We're told the sale price is y = 44, so this leads to...

y = 0.88x

44 = 0.88x

0.88x = 44

x = 44/0.88

x = 50

The original price was $50

---------------------

Check:

If the original price was $50, then the amount you save is 0.12*50 = 6 dollars, which is the discount.

The sale price is 50-6 = 44 dollars which matches up with what your teacher gave you. The answer is confirmed.

Sara was thinking of a number. Sara halves the number and gets an answer of 38.5. Form an equation with x for the information
lbvjy [14]

Answer:The equation wth x in the information can be written as

1/2 x = 38.5 , Upon solving, the number = 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number Sara was thinking about be x

halving the number to get an answer = 38.5 can be expressed as

 1/2 X = 38.5

The equation with x in the information can be written as

1/2 x = 38.5

solving it becomes

1/2 x= 38.5

x = 38.5 x 2

x=77

The number Sara was thinking about = 77
