That means one whole is cut into 8 parts, and one of those eight parts is considered to be one-eighth of a whole
{think about it like a pizza with 8 slices]
Let the sum of the 10 numbers be x, then
x/ 10 = 1445
x = 1445 x 10 = 14450
New mean = (14450 + 1500)/11 = 15950/11 = 1450
4x+6 = 5x-6
x=12
4(12)+6=54
The answer is 54 (The paper says C is 54, not 55)
Answer:
The original price of the laptop is 840
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the original price of a laptop, given the amount that was paid off and the discount percentage enjoyed.
Firstly, let’s add back the 50 taken off. That makes a total of 50 + 664 = 714
Now, we remember he was also given 15% off. Let the price paid be x;
The 15% of x is equal the difference between x and the 714
Thus;
15/100 * x = x - 714
15x/100 = (x-714)
15x = 100(x-714)
15x = 100x -71400
100x-15x = 71400
85x = 71400
x = 71400/85
x = 840
