Abook was on sale for 40% off its original price. if
the sale price of the book was $18.00, what was the
original price of the book? (assume there is no sales
tax.)
a) $7.20
b) $10.80
c) $30.00
d) $45.00

Option C: $30 is the original price of book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of book be x

Given that:

Sale price = x - 40% of x

As it is given that the sale price was $18

So,

$18 =  x - 40% of x

By simplifying:

$18 = x - 0.4x

$18 = 0.6x

Dividing both sides by 0.6:

x = $18/0.6

x = $ 30

So the original price of book will be $30

i hope it will help you!

Option (c) $30.00

Explanation:

Let the original price be $x

Given the rate of discount is 40%

Selling (or sale) price of the book is = $18

The original price is calculated by the formula,

Selling Price = Original Price(1 – r%)

Substituting the values in the above equation,

Therefore, x = 30

Hence, option (c)is correct

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
