Answer:

The original cost is $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that Rey paid $91 for a watch that was on sale for 30%

let the original cost be x

so that 30% off x= $91 --------not the word  OFF not OF

Required

the original cost x

Step two

hence

x- 30/100*x= 91

x-0.3x=91

0.7x= 91

divide both sides by 0.7

x= 91/0.7

x=$130

At a food festival, 3/8 of the dishes were from china. Another 12.5% of the dishes were from japan. What percent of the dishes w
MrMuchimi

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Total dishes.

Dishes from China = \dfrac38x

Dishes from Japan  = 12.5\% \text{ of }x= 0.125x

Total dishes  from China and Japan = \dfrac38 x+0.125x=0.375x+0.125x=0.5x

Dishes from other countries = x- 0.5x= 0.5x

Percent of dishes from other countries= \dfrac{0.5x}{x}\times100\%= 50\%

Hence, dishes from other countries = 50%

Last month, when Joe took his puppy to the veterinarian, the puppy weighed 5.4 pounds. This month, the puppy weighed 7.56 pounds
tino4ka555 [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

40%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that last month, Joe's puppy weight 5.4 pounds while this month, the puppy weighed 7.56 pounds.

We are to find the percentage increase of the weight of the puppy

We know that the formula of percentage increase if given by:

<em>Percentage increase = (new value - initial value)/initial value × 100</em>

So substituting the given values to get:

Percentage increase in puppy's weight = \frac{7.56-5.4}{5.4} \times 100 = 40%

Solve and find X. <br> Question says 5-x / 2 = 2x-7
poizon [28]

Answer:

x = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is (5 - x) / 2 = 2x - 7

Multiply both sides by 2:

5 - x = 4x - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

19 - x = 4x

Add x to both sides:

19 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

3.8 = x

Therefore, x = 3.8.
