First find what 24% of 270 is. multiply .24 times 270 to get 64.8. Then add 64.8 to 270 to get the markup price.
Solving:
-7 + y = 3 + 2y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
-7 + y + -2y = 3 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: y + -2y = -1y
-7 + -1y = 3 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
-7 + -1y = 3 + 0
-7 + -1y = 3
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + -1y = 3 + 7
Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -1y = 3 + 7
-1y = 3 + 7
Combine like terms: 3 + 7 = 10
-1y = 10
Divide each side by '-1'.
y = -10
Hope it helps. (:
I believe the answer is 15 because if you divide 270/18 you get 15 <span />
You are X, if your friend is 1.2 times taller than you= 1.2X
That's why 64.5=1.2X
X=53.75
But you should write 53.8 inches tall. Because there is one number after point.
<span>As a result, you are 53.8 inches tall
