Question :
The price of a dress is reduced by 50%. When the dress still does not sell, it is reduced by 50% of the reduced price. If the price of the dress after both reductions is $50, what was the original price?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the dress.
First reduction
After first reduction the value of the price is given as;
p1 = x - 50% of x = (1-0.50)x = 0.5x
p1 = 0.5x
Second reduction
After the second reduction the value of the price is given as;
p2 = p1 - 50% of p1 = (1-0.50)p1 = (0.50)0.50x
p2 = 0.25x .....1
Since, p2 is given
p2 = $50
Substituting into equation 1
$50 = 0.25x
x = $50/0.25 = $200
x = $200
The original price is $200
Answer:
Not really sure try google maybe??
Step-by-step explanation:
15.75 divided by 0.25
In every 1 whole number, there are 4 of 0.25
Now we have 15 as whole number so simply multiply 15 x 4
15 * 4 = 60, there are 60 pieces of .025s in 15.
0.75 has 3 0.25s
Now, let’s add 60 + 3 = 63, the answer is 63.
There are 63 pieces of 0.25 in 15.75.
15.75 / 0.25
63
