Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
The sum of two supplementary angles is 180 degrees.
A+B=180.
80+B=180
B= 180-80
B=100
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)
Your not being very discriptive... BUT if you are finding 'x'...
(14x-35)/17=7
*17 *17
14x-35=119
+35 +35
14x=154
/14 /14
x=11
