Answer:

R290.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charge before he put his prices up

New charge = R320

Percentage increase in price = 7%

x + 7% of x = 320

x + 0.07 * x = 320

x + 0.07x = 320

1.07x = 320

x = 320/1.07

x = 299.06542056074

Approximately

x = R290.1

Charge before he put his prices up = R290.1

GEOMETRY HELP! <br><br> This is my last question and I don’t know what the answer is! Please help!
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Temporarily subdivide the given area into two parts: a large rectangle and a parallelogram. Find the areas of these two shapes separately and then combine them for the total area of the figure.

By counting squares on the graph, we see that the longest side of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle whose legs are 8 and 2. Applying the Pyth. Thm., we find that this length is √(8^2+2^2), or √68. Similarly, we find the the width of this rectangle is √(17). Thus, the area of the rectangle is √(17*68), or 34 square units.

This leaves the area of the parallelogram to be found. The length of one of the longer sides of the parallelogram is 6 and the width of the parallelogram is 1. Thus, the area of the parallelogram is A = 6(1) = 6 square units.

The total area of the given figure is then 34+6, or 40, square units.

another reason would be if the problem gave you the answer but not one of the things to get the answer
4-x=-1
not sure if that is what you want but I hope this helped
