group of answer choices

$200

Explanation:

The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.

If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.

So, employee pays =  

100

75

⋅

172.50

= $230.00.

Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100

is sold by $(100+15) = $115.

When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,

when sell price is $230, then cost price is  

100

115

⋅

230

= $200.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
