Answer:
X=20
you subtract 15 from 75 to get 60 then divide 60 by 3 to get 20
1) this is simply solving it, so if you divide 16 by 3, you end up getting 5 1/3
2) 3 1/2, by multiplying 7 by 1/2
3) 224, by multiplying 14 by 16
4) 54 mph, by dividing 324 by 6
5) blue, because only the 1/4 ribbon color would be collected after 3/4 mile
6) 7/8 - 3/8 equals 4/8, or 1/2 when simplified
Let, the original price = x
It would be: x*60% = 48
x = 48 / 0.60
x = 80
In short, Your Answer would be $80
Hope this helps!
From the given statement, we know the following...
0.35x = $247 where x = the orginial number
So if we solve for x by dividing by 0.35
x = $247/0.35 = $705.71
