The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%. Andre wants to buy a bike that has a retail price of $125. We need to find the wholesale (original) price of this bike. What percent of the wholesale (original) price is the retail price?

Step-by-step explanation:

Wholesale price was marked up by 30% and became $125.

Assume wholesale price is x. Expression will be;

125 = x + (30% * x)

125 = 1.3x

x = 125/1.3

x = $96.15

Retail price percentage = 125/96.15

= 1.30

= 130%

x = 25/2304

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
