3.Ashley sees a book bag on sale in a store for $22. This is 20% off the original price. What was the original price of the book bag?

Answer 1

1. 18 - 40% = 10.8

So the other 40% of students is 10 students. In total there are 28 students

2. 21,000 - 40% = 12,600

There are 33,600 people in attendance.


3. $26.40 is the original price

Answer 2

NUMBER 1

If 18 people is 40% that means the we need to start taking 40% off of numbers

40% of 20 is 12

40% of 25 is 15

40% of 30 is 18

So the answer is 30

NUMBER 2

If 21,000 people is 60% that means 20% is 7,000 people and 7,000x5=35,000 so there is a total of 35,000 people at the game

NUMBER 3

You should start taking 20% off of numbers.

20% of 25 is 20 too low so we need to go higher

20% of 26 is 20.8 still too low so lets keep going

20% of 27 is 21.60 closer but too low

20% of 28 is 22.40 which is too high lets go back since 27 is too low and 28 is too high lets start in between

20% of 27.5 is 22.00

So the answer is $27.5.
