Explain and show work

Answer 1

Answer: It would of been $339.25

Step-by-step explanation: If you do the math  299 divided by 45 you  will get 40 so now add 40 to 299 you will get $339 minus 50 cents will be 25 so $339.25 would be the original price of the bike.

Answer 2

Answer:

$545.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to take the discount percentage and divide it by 100 to get an actual number. In this case, you would get 0.45. Then you would subtract 1 from 0.45, giving you 0.55. Then you put it into an equation like this (op meaning original price):

op = 299.75 / 0.55

If you divide 299.75 by 0.55, it gives you $545.00.
