1) Find the percentage difference between 12% and 100%.

100-12= 88%

1a) Put the percentage in its decimal form.

88%/100= 0.88

2) Divide 17.60 by 0.88

17.60/0.88= 20

Therefore, the original price of the lamp is $20.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Original price of the lamp is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference from 100-12, which gives us equal to 88. Then, you divide 100 to use decimal form, 88/100=0.88 or 100/100=1. Divide decimals from left to right. 17.60/0.88=20%. The original price of the lamp is 20, which is our answer.

I hope this helps!

You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.

The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8

Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8

Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.

4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2

The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2

-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2

15 + (5-x)/x=30 solve for x
elixir [45]

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

15+(5-x)/x=30

1) Subtract 15 from both sides:

(5-x)/x=15

2) Multiply both sides by x:

5-x=15x

3) Add x to both sides:

16x=5

4) Divide both sides by 16:

x=5/16
