Answer:
x = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3 = - 2 ( add 3 to both sides )
2x = 1 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x =
= 0.5
Answer:
The reasoning here is that the price should be based on the volume.
for a cylinder it's pi * r² * height
for a cone it's 1/3 * pi * r² * height
you'll notice that the formulas are the same, except that the cone is just one third of the cylinders volume.
so a fair price should be 70ct, ignoring packaging of course.
First, we need to find 33% of $402. (132.66)
Now since it's 33% less than before, we need to add how much the price was reduced by.
402+132.66= 534.66
The original price was $534.66
