Jacob found a great deal on a laptop for 40%off the original price if the sale price is
$525 what is the original price of the laptop

The original price of the laptop bought by Jacob was US$ 875

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Sale price of the laptop = US$ 525

Discount from the original price = 40%

2. Let's find the original price of the laptop

Original price of the laptop = x

Sale price of the laptop = US$ 525

Sale price of the laptop = x - 40%x

525 = x - 0.4x (40% = 0.4)

525 = x - 4x/10 (0.4 = 4/10)

5,250 = 10x -4x (Multiplying by 10 at both sides)

5,250 = 6x

5,250/6 = 6x/6 (Dividing by 6 at both sides)

875 = x

The original price of the laptop bought by Jacob was US$ 875

Note: Same answer provided by me to question 13934115

Jacob the original price of the laptop is $1312.5

Explanation:

Given the discount on the laptop is 40%

Sale price of the laptop is $525

Consider the original price to be $x

According to the question,

40% of x = 525

x = $1312.5

Therefore the original price of the laptop is $1312.5

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950

x> 6

step-by-step explanation:

8x+8> 7x+14

8x-7x> 14-8

x> 6
