The price of an item increased by 25 percent. if the price of the item after the increase is 2.00. What was the original price? (Show your work) A. 1.50

B. 1.60

C. 1.75

D. 2.50

E. 3.20

Let the original price = x

From X to get the new price you multiply by 1 + the percent of the increase which is 25%

1,25X = 2.00

Divide both sides by 1.25:

X = 1.60

The original price was B. 1.60

x=1.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

We increase by 25%

x+ .25x = new price

1.25x = 200

Divide each side by 1.25

x = 2.00/1.25

x=1.60

since the airplane is moving with constant speed then the distance travelled can be calculated by x=u*t

in km/h would be:

x=640*3.5=2.240 km

in m/s would be:

u=640 km/h= 640.000 m/h =640.000/ 3600 m/s =177.8 m/s

t= 3.5 h= 3.5 * 3600 s=12.600 s

then x=u*t= 177.8*12.600= 2.240.280 m
