Algebra Problem??? |
Wheel鈥檚 Bicycle shop advertised a bicycle for 15% off for a savings of $36. The bicycle did not sell so it was offered at a new 20% discount off the sale price. (1) What did the bicycle sell for regularly? (2) What is the amount of the new discount? (1) 0.15x = 36 x = $240 (2) 0.80 ($240 - $36) = 0.80 ($204) = $163.20 1) 15% of the initial price was taken off, which resulted in a savings of $36. So 15% of the original price is $36. If "P" is the original price then this means 0.15*P = 36. Solve this for P. 2) They want the value of the discount (not the new price, but how much is now taken off). Take the value of P from step #1, and find 0.20*P |
