To regroup is to use place value to exchange equal amount when renaming a number.
It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12
= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12
= 8 + 12 = 5x
= x = 20 / 5
= x = 4
$72 To find out how much the sweater is without 20% off, you need to do this formula:
$60 x 20%
The answer is $12.
So, 20% of $60 is $12.
Now, you need to add 60 and 12 together to get the original sale price.
60 + 12
The answer is 72.
So the original price for the sweater is <span>72 dollars.</span>
