Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
The answer is <span>246.682848</span>
Answer:
1a) 1141/660
3/5 + 6/11 +7/12
find the LCM of the denominators
the LCM of 5,11,12 is 660
after finding the LCM divide it with the denominator.
after dividing 660 by 5 i get 132. So i need to multiply it with 3. Now, i got 396. Do the same with the rest of the numbers.
u will get smth like this: 396+360+385/660
and the final answer will be1141/660.
b) 71/40
c) 211/28
