A local electronics store raised its prices on headphones by 20%. The headphones that Stan wants to buy now cost $36. How much did the headphones cost before the price increase?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let the price before the increase be x.

Since there was 20% increase, the new price would be:

(100% + 20%) = 120%

120% x = 36

(120/100)x = 36

1.2x =36

x = 36/1.2

x = 30.

Price before the increase = $30.

Jeff's Restaurant uses less because if you simplify both of the ratios you get 1/9 and 1/8

L=P+2G over K Solve for G?

Answers

L = P + 2G / K

Multiply both sides by K to get rid of the denominator

KL = P + 2G

Subtract P from both sides

KL - P = 2G

Divide each side by 2

KL - P / 2 = G

G = KL - P / 2

Hi Brand

L=P+(2G)/k

Multiply both sides by K

KL= KP+2G

Flip the equation

KP+2G=KL

add -KP to both sides

KP+2G-KP=KL-KP

2G=KL-KP

Divide both sides by 2

2G/2= (KL-KP)/2

G= 1/2 KL + -1/2 KP

I hope that's help !

The value of the expression 4 x 12, using multiplication distributive propoerty, is 48.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is a mathematical arithmetic operation. It is also a process of adding the same types of expression for some number of times.

Example - 2 × 3 means 2 is added three times, or 3 is added 2 times.

Given:

An expression,

4 x 12.

To find the product:

We will apply the multiplicationoperation.

4 x 12

= 4 x (10 + 2)

Using the process of distributiveproperty,

= 4x 10 + 4 x 2

= 40 + 8

= 48.

Therefore, the value of the product is 48.

-4x + 7 = 11 help me please!

Answers

-4x + 7 = 11 

First, subtract 7 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -4x = 11 - 7
Second, subtract 11 - 7. / Your problem should look like: -4x = 4
Third, divide both sides by -4. / Your problem should look like: x =   (4)/(-4)
Fourth, change the fraction to a negative. / Your problem should look like: x =  -(4)/(4)
Fifth, cancel 4 out. / Your problem should look like: x = -1

Answer: x = -1

you want to get "x" by its self.

-4x+7=11    (subtract 7 on both sides)
-4x=4           (divide -4 on both sides)
x=-1
