Answer:
x=0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You first have to isolate the x term so you subtract 6.814 from both sides which makes the equation 1.54x=1.386
2. Then, to isolate "x", you divide 1.54 on both sides to get rid of the 1.54 which makes x=.9
Answer: 14.29 or rounded up to 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
525 - 450 = 75
You need at least $75 off the price to have enough money.
75/525 = x/100
Solve for X
75 * 100 = 7500
7500/525 = 14.2857143
If answer should be a whole percentage you would need the discount to be 15% in order to not fall short on funds.
