Answer:
$460
Step-by-step explanation:
If the 128.80 is the price of the desk after a 72% discount, it means that 128.80 is 100-72=28% of the original price.
From here, we can divide 128.80 by 28 to find what 1% of the price is then multiply the value by 100 to find 100%, or the original price.
128.80/28 = 4.6
4.6 x 100 = 460
Original price = $460
Hope this helped!
Answer:
1. The first problem is wrong, it should be 0.5(3(15) + 2(20)) because the parentheses make sure that every purchased item is being divided by 2 (multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2)
2. The second problem is partially correct. The first two answers you have checked are correct, but the last one is wrong. The third answer should be 6 + 12 instead because that's just a simplified version of 2(3) + 6(2), meaning they are equal
3. I cannot read your answers in the "Why or Why Not" column in the third problem, but the answers you gave in the "Evaluate" and "Does It Work?" columns are all correct.
