Suppose the original price to be x.
62%x=296.4
Divide both sides by 62% to get x=478, which is the original price.

Answer:

Rounded: $478.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = original price

62/100 = 296.40/x

Cross multiply

62 × x = 100 × 296.40

62x = 29,640

Divide both sides by 62:

x = 478.064516....

Round to nearest cent (hundredths place):

x = 478.06

Check your work (using the rounded estimate will be close to $296.40 but not exact because it is rounded; once you round your answer and it should match):

478.06 × 62%

Convert the percentage into a decimal:

478.06 × 0.62

296.3972

Round to the nearest cent (hundredths place):

296.40

A <br> is a number formed by multiplying ten by a number.
PIT_PIT [208]

I'm not really sure what the question is here, because you just gave a statement... but if you are trying to get an expression from words, here is what it would be:

A = 10N

I'm also not sure if "a number" is equal to the same as "a number" at the end, but I'm guessing not. If it is though, and you're trying to find the value of A, the answer would be:

A = 10

I hope this helped :)
