Let's break down all the information we receive from the question.
One pair of shoes= three times as much as a scarf
One pair of shoes and one scarf= $32
We need to make an equation where 3s= pair of shoes and s=scarf. We then need to put one pair of shoes + one scarf = 32.
3s+s=32
Now add.
4s=32
You could use 4s=32 (or 32÷4=s).
Answer:
<em>Thus, the original price of the pair of shoes was $100.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
After a 60% discount, the sale price is now valued at 100-60=40% of its original price.
If the sale price is $40, then the original price is calculated as
$40 / 40 * 100 = $100
Thus, the original price of the pair of shoes was $100.
Verify applying 60% discount:
$100 - 60*$100/100 = $40
There are a couple of answers, it could be 2+10 or 3+9
Answer:
a = 28 / √2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isosceles triangle therefor a = b
use pythagorean theorem
a² + a² = c²
2a² = 28²
a² = 28² / 2
Take the square root of both sides
a = 28 / √2
