Step-by-step explanation:
PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST
Let x represent the amount of money that Victoria had before she went for shopping.
Victoria spent one-fourth or her birthday money on clothes. It means that the amount she spent on shopping is 1/4 × x = x/4. Amount that she was having left would be x - x/4 = 3x/4
She received another 25$ a week later. The amount that she is having at this point will be 3x/4 + 25
If she has a total of 70$ now, it means that
3x/4 + 25 = 70
Multiplying through by 4
3x + 100 = 280
3x ,= 280 - 100 = 180
x = 180/3 = 60
ik the first answer choice is false
Factor out -x from the expression
I'm pretty sure $39.31 was the original sales cost because if you use proportions to find out what is 7.2% of 42.35 ( what you get you you subtract 45 by 2.65). Your equation would be x/42.35 = 7.2/100. 42.35 is the whole because tax is adding money onto your original cost, making that the part. When you cross multiply you get 100x = 304.92. Then you divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable, to get x = 3.04. But you don't stop there. Since 3.04 is only the 7.2%, you have to subtract that by 42. 35 to get a sum of 39. 31 as your total.
