Find the largest number divisible by the number you are trying to find.
If you would like to know what was the original price of the shirt, you can calculate this using the following steps:
30% + 100% = 130%
130% of $22.40 = 130% * 22.40 = 130/100 * 22.40 = $29.12
The original price of the shirt was $29.12.

I put the information into this equation 5+0.65x=10+0.45x
I solved the equation by first subtracting the 0.45x from both sides to get the variable on one side. I was left with 5+0.20x=10. Then I subtracted the 5 from both sides and got 0.20x=5. Finally I divided both sides by 0.20 to get the X by itself and got X=25
Add or subtract like terms
2x+3y=5x-y
7x=2y
since you can’t divide or add any more like terms together there isn’t anything else to solve
answer ~ 7x=2y
Answer: 4%-16000 and 9.5%-30000
Why:
1) x+y=46000
x=46000-y
2) 4%x+9,5%y=3490;
4x + 9.5y=349000; so 4*(46000-y)+9.5y=349000;
5.5y=165000
y=30000
x=46000-30000=16000
