Solution:

<u>We know the following:</u>

  • A student used a 30% coupon on a jacket
  • The cost was $67.34 after the coupon was used.

<u>Thus, the equation created:</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(Original price)/100 = Original price

Let's represent the original price as x. Then:

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 = x

<u>Subtract 30x/100 both sides.</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 - 30(x)/100 = x - 30x/100
  • => 67.34 = x - 30x/100

<u>Change x to 100x/100.</u>

  • => 67.34 = 100x/100 - 30x/100

<u>Simplify the RHS:</u>

  • => 67.34 = 70x/100

<u>Use cross multiplication.</u>

  • => 6734 = 70x

<u>Divide 70 both sides.</u>

  • => x = 6734/70 = $96.2 (Original price)

What is the relationship between fractions and decimals?
Tanzania [10]
The relationship between fractions and decimals is that with a fraction you are dividing whereas a decimal is treated like a number.
i.e.      1/4=0.25
Think of decimals as 100 being the whole or 1 so split 100 into 4 and you get 25 or 0.25

Solve for x. Write both solutions, separated by a comma. 8x^2+7x-1=0
Ivan

Answer:

<h2>x = 1/8 , - 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

8x² + 7x - 1 = 0

Rewrite 7x as a difference

That's

8x² + 8x - x - 1 = 0

Factorize

8x( x + 1) - ( x + 1) = 0

(8x - 1)( x + 1) = 0

8x - 1 = 0 x + 1 =0

8x = 1 x = - 1

x = 1/8

The solutions are

<h3>x = 1/8 , - 1</h3>

Hope this helps you
