The xbox had a 15% discount, but hanna still had to pay $187 for it. what was the original price for the xbox?

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid 85% of the original price (since it was discounted 15%)

So

187 = 0.85x    (where x is the original price, and 0.85 is 85% as a decimal)

This reads as "187 is 85% of some value". In this case, the value is the original price we are looking for.   Solve this equation to find x

187 = 0.85x

      220 = x     (divide both sides by 0.85 to isolate x)

step-by-step explanation:

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
