Answer:
$90
Step-by-step explanation:
The shoes now cost 130% of the original cost
The original cost is 100%
Take the new amount and divide it by 130:
117/130 = .90
Then multiply that number by 100 to get the original percent
.90 x 100 = $90
To check, multiply $90 by 130% or 1.30 to make sure that a 30% increase makes the product $117
$90 x 1.30 = $117
If the bicyclists is traveling 18 miles every hour and needs to travel a sum of 90 miles, you need to divide 90/18 equaling the total time (in hours) needed to travel 90 miles. Hope this helps
9.75 * 1.2 = 11.7
24.5 * .8 = 19.6
11.7+19.6= 31.3 minutes
hope this helped :)
