If 19 is half (50%) of something, find that number you would just have to multiply 19 by 2.
This means that 19 is 50% of 38.
Answer:
The original price is 337.50
Step-by-step explanation:
If we get 20% off, we still have to pay 100-20 =80%
Let x be the original price
x *80% = 270
.80x = 270
Divide each side by .80
.80x/.80 = 270/.80
x =337.50
The original price is 337.50
Answer: Sales tax is $4.80 and the total cost is $64.80
Step-by-step explanation: Take the difference in the total before and after tax and divide by the price before tax.
To get $4.80, find the sales tax of $60.00 of 8%
We can use this formula: (selling price x sales tax rate)
The sales tax is: $4.80
To find the total cost, add 60.00 by the sales tax. ($4.80)
60.00 + 4.80 = $64.80
Therefore, these are your answers: $4.80 and $64.80
Answer:
x = ± sqrt(43)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 - 28 = x^2 + 15
Subtract x^2 from each side
2x^2-x^2 - 28 = x^2-x^2 + 15
x^2 -28 = 15
Add 28 to each side
x^2 - 28 +28= 15+28
x^2 = 43
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ± sqrt(43)
x = ± sqrt(43)
