Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid 85% of the original price (since it was discounted 15%)

187 = 0.85x (where x is the original price, and 0.85 is 85% as a decimal)

This reads as "187 is 85% of some value". In this case, the value is the original price we are looking for. Solve this equation to find x

187 = 0.85x

220 = x (divide both sides by 0.85 to isolate x)

2.02b + 4.30 = 2.00b + 6.30

bonufazy [111]

Answer: b = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

2.02b + 4.30 = 2.00b + 6.30

reorder the terms:

4.30 + 2.02b = 2.00b + 6.30

reorder the terms:

4.30 + 2.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b

solving

4.30 + 2.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b

solving for variable 'b'.

move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2.00b' to each side of the equation.

4.30 + 2.02b + -2.00b = 6.30 + 2.00b + -2.00b

combine like terms: 2.02b + -2.00b = 0.02b

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b + -2.00b

combine like terms: 2.00b + -2.00b = 0.00

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + 0.00

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30

add '-4.30' to each side of the equation.

4.30 + -4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

combine like terms: 4.30 + -4.30 = 0.00

0.00 + 0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

combine like terms: 6.30 + -4.30 = 2

0.02b = 2

divide each side by '0.02'.

getting: b = 100

Linh buys two T-shirts for $12 each, a pair of shoes for $28, and a pair of jeans for $45. She has a coupon for 30 percent off h

Darina [25.2K]

12x2= $24
24+28+45= $97

So $97 is 100%

So 100%-30% =70% (30% off)
(note: 70% = 70/100 = 0.7)

97 x 0.7 = $67.90

How to solve linear equations with inverse operations in each step

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Number one would be 13 because you have to add the x to both sides which will leave you with 2x=26 then you have to divide by 2 and you will get x=13. Number two is 7 7/8 because you have to add the 1/3x to the other 1/3x to get 2/3x= 5 1/4 so then you divide both sides by 2/3 and to divide a fraction you do keep change flip so it would be 21/4 times 3/2 which would be 63/8 which simplifys to 7 7/8.
