A. sam purchased 3 games for $140 after a discount of 30%. what was the original price?
b. if sam had used a 20% off coupon and opened a frequent shopper discount membership to save 10%, would the games still have a total of $140?

a) $175 b) It will be $126

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 3 games= $140

Let the original price of games= $ x

Discount is given= 30%

According to question

x = $140

x = $140

x ×0.8= $140

x= $

x= $175

Hence, the original price of games $ 140

(b)  If Sam had given a discount of 20%

Again a discount = 10%

The price of games=$ 140

Now, the selling price will be= 175×

Now, the selling price will be= $ 126

Hence, the price will be different.

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
