Answer:
x = $200
The original price is $200
Question :
The price of a dress is reduced by 50%. When the dress still does not sell, it is reduced by 50% of the reduced price. If the price of the dress after both reductions is $50, what was the original price?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the dress.
First reduction
After first reduction the value of the price is given as;
p1 = x - 50% of x = (1-0.50)x = 0.5x
p1 = 0.5x
Second reduction
After the second reduction the value of the price is given as;
p2 = p1 - 50% of p1 = (1-0.50)p1 = (0.50)0.50x
p2 = 0.25x .....1
Since, p2 is given
p2 = $50
Substituting into equation 1
$50 = 0.25x
x = $50/0.25 = $200
x = $200
The original price is $200
Try C, im sorry if it’s wrong
The answer is 2:3 because it is 12:18 simplified.
<em>1</em><em> </em><em>I </em><em>do </em><em>not </em><em>know</em>
<em>2</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>so </em><em>hard</em>
<em>3</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em> </em><em>don't </em><em>know</em><em> </em><em>what</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>the </em><em>answer</em><em />
6x^3+13x^2+16 is the result.
