The answer is x= 20.
Plug 8 in for y and then add 2 to both sides. You'll get 10= 1/2x so divide both sides by 1/2 to get your answer of 20.
The answer would be the second one
Answer:
Suppose that the wholesale of a bike is A (A is the 100% in this case). If we have an increase of 30% for the sale price, we have the new price of:
Price = A + (30%/100%)A = A + 0.3*A = (1.3)*A
Then if we know that the price tag of the bike is $125, then we have:
$125 = (1.3)*A
$125/1.3 = A = $96.15
The wholesale cost of the bike is $96.15
