Use this equation to solve the problem:
x - (x * .25) = 40
This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.
x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33
The original price was $53.33

Round to whichever place is needed
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression can be rearranged to ...
b = 3 -9/(a+5)
In order for b to be an integer, (a+5) must be an integer divisor of 9. There are exactly 6 of those: ±1, ±3, ±9.
The attached table shows the values (a, b) = (x₁, f(x₁)).
If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:
- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2 /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5
The correct result would be -5.
