Let the cost price of article be x :

x + x × ( 15/100 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 5 × 3 / 5 × 20 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 3 / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3 × x / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

( 20x / 20 ) + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

20x + 3x / 20 = 2300

23x / 20 = 2300

Multiply both sides by 20

( 23x / 20 ) × 20 = 2300 × 20

23x = 2300 × 20

23x = 23 × 2000

Divide both sides 23

23x ÷ 23 = ( 23 × 2000 ) ÷ 23

x = Rs 2000

The number of students in the class (x) will be divided into teams of 4, except one team will have 5, resulting teams in all. Wr
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

x = 4y + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the total students in the class. We don't know how many teams of four there will be, so we represent that with y. 4y represents the total students in teams of 4. We know there is one team of 5, so that is added to 4y.
