Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18

sweet-ann [11.9K]

If Jey Uso was born on a Wednesday, the day of the week that Roman Reigns was born is Thursday.

<h3>What day of the week was Roman Reigns born?</h3>

There are 365 days in a year when there is no leap year.

Now determine the number of years that make up 759 days: 759 / 365 = 2 years + 29 days

Now determine how many weeks are in 29 days : 29 / 7 = 4 weeks and 1 day

Thus, Roman Reigns was born on Thursday.
