A. Your not multiplying 8 by anything to get this answer your taking 8-14-a
Marked down 15% means the new price would be 85% of the original price ( 100%-15% - 85%)
Multiply the original price by 85%:
5250 x 0.85 = 4462.50
The new price is $4,462.50
2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3
Answer:
2400
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y+z=147
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=147
3x+3=147
3x=144
x=48
The three consecutive positive numbers are 48, 49, and 50.
48 • 50 = 2400
