Answer:

$33600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = original car price

Since it is a 25% profit that means we multiply x by 1.25

1.25x = 42000

Divide both sides by 1.25

1.25x/1.25 = 42000/1.25

x = 33600

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 0.4(3x - 2) + $\frac{2x+4}{3}$ ← substitute x = 4 into the expression

= - 0.4(3(4) - 2) + $\frac{2(4)+4}{3}$

= - 0.4(12 - 2) + $\frac{8+4}{3}$

= - 0.4(10) + $\frac{12}{3}$

= - 4 + 4 = 0

Use the fact that 2 1/2 divide 1/8 =20 to find 2 1/2 divide 5/8

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $2\frac 1 2 \div \frac 1 8 =20$

$\Rightarrow \frac 5 2 \div \frac 1 8 =20$

$\Rightarrow \frac 5 2 \times 8 1 =20 \cdots(i)$

Now, $2\frac 1 2 \div \frac 5 8$ $= \frac 5 2 \div \frac 5 8$ $=\frac 5 2 \times \frac 8 5$

This can be written as

$\frac 5 2 \times \frac 8 5=\frac 5 2 \times \left( \frac 8 1 \times \frac 1 5\right)$ [as $\frac 8 5=\frac 8 1 \times \frac 1 5$ ]

$=\left(\frac 5 2 \times \frac 8 1 \right)\times \frac 1 5$

$=20 \times \frac 1 5$ [ by using equation (i)]

Hence, $2\frac 1 2 \div \frac 5 8=4$
