1) given 6x = 4x + 140
2) subtract 4x from both sides => 6x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 140
=> 2x = 140
3) divide both members by 2 => 2x / 2 = 140 / 2
=> x = 70
4) Answer: x = 70
A=P(1+rt)
A/P=1+rt
A/P-1=rt
AP-P/Pr = t
A-1/r=t
Answer:
x=12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
0.7x times (-1.4)=-3.5
-0.28x=-3.5 (divide both sides)
Ans:12.5
Answer:
$199.50
Step-by-step explanation:
10% discount of $34 = 10/100*34 = $3.40
so, a single shirt costs $34-$3.40 = $30.60
half off = 50% discount of $31 = 50/100*31 = $15.50
so, a single cap costs $31-$15.50 = $15.50
so, 5 shirts and 3 caps cost now
5*$30.60 + 3*$15.50 = $153 + $46.50 = $199.50
but careful - can this be a trick question ?
the phrasing of the problem description can also suggest that the discounts are only listed to confuse us and are already included in the mentioned prices ("worth" $34 - what does that mean ? because including the discounts they are currently "worth" their prices).
then it would just plainly be
5*$34 + 3*$31 = $170 + $93 = $263
Find his rate:
120 / 15 = $8 per hour
Multiply the rate by hours:
$8 x 20 hours = $160
He will earn $160
