The equation would look like: p - 5.16 = 15.48
because the coupon subtracts 5.16 from p and the price you pay is 15.48
Solve the equation by adding 5.16 to both sides
p = 20.64
The original price of the shirt is $20.64
In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is
12xy:3x
First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,
We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is

So the common factor is 3x.
In the next step, we cancel out 3x

And that's the required simplified form .
Answer:
15/8 hours .................
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be Laura, and B be Ben. Then:
3L=1
5B=1
Next:
15L=5
15B=3
15(L+B)=5+3=8
15/8 (L+B)=1
