say the regular price is "x", which is the 100% value of the shoes, but today they're 22% off, that means 100% - 22% = 78%, so the sale price is really 78% of the regular price, we know that's 42 bucks, so

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 42&78 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{42}=\cfrac{100}{78}\implies \cfrac{x}{42}=\cfrac{50}{39} \\\\\\ 39x=2100\implies x=\cfrac{2100}{39}\implies x\approx 53.85

Answer:

x =53.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

If the price is 22% of, you will pay 100% -22% = 78%

x * 78% = 42

Change to decimal form.

78x = 42

Divide each side by .78.

78x/.78 = 42/.78

Rounding to the nearest cent

x =53.85

Al sumar un número entero con el doble de su sucesor, se obtiene un total de 44. ¿De qué número se está hablando?
Vlad [161]
Basado en lo que nos dieron en la pregunta podemos decir que:
1) x sea un numero entero 
2)x+1 sea el numero sucesor del anterior
3) los dos seran sumados y el total de la suma es 44
4) el numero sucesor es multiplicado por dos antes de ser sumado con el numero entero


Entonces tenemos:
x+2(x+1)=44 \\ x+2x+2=44 \\ 3x=42 \\ x=14

En este caso el numero del cual se esta hablando es 14 para comprobar

14+2(14+1)=44 \\ 14+2(15)=44 \\ 44=44
