Answer:

$40.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 25 % off and the sale price is $30, the original price was $40.

The sale price is 75 % of the original price. Therefore,

0.75x=30

30/.75=40

Answer:

30x25/100

25%=7,5$

30+7,5$=37,5$

The original price was 37,5 because you had to first find out what was 25% in $ to then do the opposite of a sale since we are finding the original price so we have to add it to 30$ since 30$ was the price after the sale.

Hope this helps, have a good day!

Solve the following quadratic equation for all values of x in simplest form. 20+ 2x= 28

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate x.

Start by moving the 20 to the other side by subtracting it from both sides.

2x = 8

Since x is being multiplied by 2, we need to divide both sides by 2 to move it to the other side.

x = 4
