Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
Answer:
The sum is 2635
Step-by-step explanation:
I did this problem
The term that can be added to the list so the GCF is 12h3 would be 48h5.
The reason being is that 48 is first divisible by 12 and does not yield a fraction, and we can remove upon dividing 3 h's from this term as it contains a total of 5 h's.
So to solve for y, subtract 108 from each side.
The equation becomes -y=126
Since you don't want y to be negative then divide each side by -1 this will flip all of the signs (positives become negative and vice versa) without changing the number.
So the equation is now y= -126
