Answer:

$27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of a number, we can use the formula Px = y.

In this formula, P is the percent we are finding. x and y are the numbers we are given, x being the number we are finding a percentage of and y being the answer.

To substitute a percent into the formula, we have to first convert it into a decimal. Simply remove the % sign and move the decimal point two places to the left. We have 0.55.

Now we can plug in our values.

0.55 · 60 = y

0.55 · 60 = 33

55% of 60 is 33.

The question asks for the price of the item when 55% is taken off of the original price.

So, we have to subtract 33 from 60.

60 - 33 = 27

The sale price, then, is $27.

I hope this helps ^^

Good luck :)

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The value now = $207,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase = 20% per year = 20/100 = 0.2 per year

value 3 years ago = $120,000

interest at year 1:

20% of 120,000

= 0.2 × 120,000 = 24,000

Value at the end of year 1

= initial value + interest

= 120,000 + 24,000 = $144,000

In year 2:

20% of 144,000

= 0.2 × 144,000 = 28,800

Value at the end of year 2:

144,000 + 28,800 = $172,800

In year 3

0.2 × 172,800 = 34,560

Value at the end of year 3:

34,560 + 172,800 = $207,360
