Answer is : Price before increase is £250
Explaination:
Let the Original price of a ring = x
Increase price( g) = 30%
New price(n) = £325
x = ( 100*n)/ (100+g)
x= (100*325)/(100+30)
x= (200*325)/130
x= 250
Therefore price before increase is £250
Another method:
Given that after 30% increases,
the cost of the ring is £325 so we can assume that 130% (100+30) is £325.
Now, we have to form an expression in term of x where x represents the original cost :
130/100*x=325
Solving x
x= 250
So the original price or price before the increase is £250
There is 1 orange for every 3 apples. It can be expressed at 1:3 oranges to apples.
In order to find this, first count the number of each. We have 2 oranges and 6 apples. Since both have factors of 2, divide both numbers by two. This will give you the answer above.
Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
