After a 5% reduction, you purchase a new suit for $228. What was the price of the suit before the reduction? A) First write an equation you can use to answer this question. Use x as your variable and express any percents in decimal form in the equation.

$240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the suit be x.

Since there is a 5% reduction, it means that the suit was sold for:

(100% - 5%) = 95% of its price.

So, 95% of x is $228.

95% × x = 228

95/100 × x = 228

0.95 × x = 228

0.95x = 228

Divide both side by 0.95

0.95x/0.95 = 228/0.95

x = 240

The original price of the suit is $240.

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet

b) the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.
