Mr. kork sold his car for $8,400. this was $200 more than two fifths of what he had paid for the car originally. how much had mr. kork paid for the car?

He paid = $20,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount he bought the car originally be X

so from the statement,

(2/5)*X + $200 = $8,400

(2/5)*X = $8,400 - $200

solving for X

X = $8200 * 5/2

X = $20,500

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
