paula bought a ski jacket on sale for $5 less than half its original price. she paid $87 for the jacket. what was the original price?

$184

Step-by-step explanation:

87 is 5 less than 1/2 of the price without a sale. in that case 92 would be half the cost. To find the full value you would multiply 92 by two to get 184

step-by-step explanation:

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
