Two birds on a wire One tries to fly away
And the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
I'll believe
It all
There's nothing
I won't understand
I'll believe
It all
I won't let go
Of your hand
Two birds on a wire
One says c'mon
And the other says I'm tired
The sky
Is overcast
And I'm sorry
One more
Or one less
Nobody's worried
I'll believe
It all
There's nothing
I won't understand
I'll believe
It all
I won't let go
Of your hand
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always
Gonna stay together
But one's
Never going
To let go
Of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds
On a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other
Watches him close
From that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other

Nice rhyme but I have a question why did you write mathematics?

step-by-step explanation:

30% of $420 is 0.30($420) = $126 and $420 + $126 = $546.

or, 130% of $420 is 1.3($420) = $546.

notice that this is not the $600 original list price with which we started.

why doesn't this work?

the method does not work because 30% of $420 is not the same amount as the 30% of $600. it may seem obvious when stated this way, but it is a very common error made on problems of this type. we cannot just use the same percent and get back to the original amount because we are taking that percent of a different value.

to work problems of this type correctly, it is generally best to write an equation for the situation and then solve.

example: since (100% – 30%)(original price) = (sale price)

70% of the   (original price) is $420.

0.7x   = 420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.

we may also solve this problem using the two-step method. working the problem in two steps requires us to use more algebra skills. we have to know that x = 1x (identity property of multiplicationtext annotation indicator) and that 1x – 0.3x = 0.7x (subtracting like terms). then we solve the problem as follows:

(original price) – 30%(original price) = sale price

x – 0.3x = 420

0.7x = $420

equation image indicator

x = 600

the original cost was $600.  

note that with both of the above methods we do obtain the correct original amount.

example: after a 5% pay raise, hermione is earning $22,680 per year. what was she earning before the pay raise?

105% of (original salary) = current salary

1.05x = 22,680

equation image indicator

x = 21,600

hermione earned $21,600 per year before the pay raise.

this is an example so maybe you will get how to at least do it!
