Answer: The initial cost of the car was $10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the initial cost of the car.

From her research , she realised that the car's current value is 5500

This is 55% of the amount that mrs merson paid on the car. This means that the current price of the car is 55 percent of x. It becomes

Current price of car = 5500 = 55/100×x

5500 = 0.55x

x = 5500/0.55

x = $10000

Since abuyer wants to know the price that Mrs Merson paid for the car, the price that he should be told is $10000. This shows that the price of the car reduced or fell.

Larry mixed 15 grams of salt with 210 grams of a 5% salt solution in water. What is the percent of salt in his new solution?
Olegator [25]
When the concentration of a solution is expressed in weight percentages, that is just equal to the mass of solute over the mass of the total solution. For a solution weighing 210 grams, 5% of it is salt. That is equal to

210*0.05= 10.5 g salt

The rest of the amount, determined by difference, is the amount of solvent which is water.

water = 210-10.5 = 199.5 g salt

To solve for the new concentration, you add up 15 g to the already existing 10.5 g of salt in the solution. The water, on the other hand, remains constant. 

Concentration = (15+10.5)/(210+15) = 0.1133 or 11.33%

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Store A offers the least amount for the sofa

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of sofa =$500

For store A

Discount =20% off

The amount of the discount is

=20/100*500

=0.2*500

=$100

6.5% sales tax

The amount of tax is

=6.5/100*500

=0.065*500

=$32.5

Total cost of the sofa

=500-100+32.5

=400+32.5

=$432.5

For store B

Discount =30% off

The amount of the discount is

=30/100*500

=0.3*500

=$150

Shipping fee $85

Total cost of sofa

=500-150+85

=350+85

=$435
