<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following expression and we are to simplify it:
To make it easier to solve, we can also write this expression as:
Now we will cancel out the like terms to get:
Taking the square root of the terms to get:
Answer:
$840
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, we can use our formula for solving percents. =
The part here is $714 because this is only 85% of the original price which is the whole. Our whole in this problem will be x. As for the percent, we will write 85.
We now have =
To solve this, we use the rules of a proportion. 714 * 100 = 71,400 and then we will divide that by 85 to find x. x = 840
So, the original price was $840.
