Answer:

x = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 = x/28

=> 5(28) = 8x

=> 140 = 8x

=> 8x = 140

=> x = 140/8

=> x = 70/4

=> x = 35/2

=> x = 17.5

First you would distribute the -3

-3x+1+7x=27

Combine like terms

4x+1= 27

Minus 1 on both sides

4x= 26

Mica bought a new smart phone for $258.13. That was the price after his 18.25% discount. What was the original price of the phon

julia-pushkina [17]

The original price of phone is $ 315.76

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Mica bought a new smart phone for $ 258.13.

That was the price after his 18.25% discount

<em><u>To find: original price of phone</u></em>

From given question,

price after discount = $ 258.13

discount = 18.25 %

Let "x" be the original price of phone

price after discount = original price - discount

$258.13 = x - 18.25 \% \text{ of } x$

$258.13 = x - \frac{18.25}{100}x$

$258.13 = x(1 - \frac{18.25}{100})$

$258.13 = x(1 - 0.1825)\\\\258.13 = x( 0.8175)\\\\x = \frac{258.13}{0.8175}\\\\x = 315.76$

Thus original price of phone is $ 315.76
