The current price is 80% of the original price. So:
Current price divided by 80 = 1% of the original price. Multiply that by 100. |

Let's make variable P = original Price
P x .8 = $12,590 P = $15,737.50 |

Divide 12590 by four and you get 3147.5
Add the two together and you get $15737.50 |

Quoted: 4. The sales price of a car is $12,590, which is 20% off the original price. What is the original price? A. $14,310.40 B. $14,990.90 C. $15,290.70 D. $15,737.50 E. $16,935.80 Lots of ways of explaining this but here is how I would do it: Original price is 100% Sales price is 20% off = 80% $12,590 = 80% of original price $12,590 / 80% = original price $15,737.50 = original price |

It takes Sally 4 hours to paint that house. It takes John 6 hours to paint that same house. Lets now divide those numbers by two, if we equally divide the work. Sallys time is now 2 hours, to Johns 3 hours. Sally isn't going to sit there when she reaches the halfway point so the work is equal. Therefore, Sally will paint over 50% of the house. The rate at which she works is faster than John. John would have painted his half in 3 hours, except for the fact that after Sally was finished with her half, she kept working to decrease the amount of time John has to paint. This gives us the only logical answer in the above bank. 2 Hours and 24 minutes. |

X = number of hours it would take Sally and John to paint the house together.
In one hour they would, combined, paint 1/X of the house. In one hour Sally can paint 1/4 of the house. In one hour John can paint 1/6 of the house. Therefore the equation would look like this: 1/4 + 1/6 = 1/X or, 3/12 + 2/12 = 1/X 5/12 = 1/X Now, times both sides by 12X 12X* (5/12) = (1/X)* 12X This leaves you with: 5X = 12 or 2.4 So, the answer is 2.4 hours, or 2 hours, 24 minutes. |

here is how you do it
Use a number for the area of the house, i chose 100. 100/4 hr = 25 100/6 hr= 16.6666666666 Add the two rates together to get a combined rate 41.6666666666666666666 divide the area of the house by the new rate 100/41.66666=2.40 You then need to change the .40 to be based on 60 minutes in an hour. So 60 minutes *.40=24 minutes Thus the answer of 2 hours and 24 minutes. Edit: booo I was too slow. |

Sally paints 100% of a house in 240 minutes and John paints 100% of a house in 360 minutes.
Sally paints 10/24 % of the house every minute. John paints 10/36 % of the house every minute. Between the two of them they can paint 25/36 % of the house every minute. (adding the fractions together and reducing... (10/24 x 3 = 30/72) + (10/36 x 2 = 20/72) = 50/72 = 25/36 ) 100 x 36 / 25 = 144 minutes to paint the house. 144 minutes = 2 hours 24 minutes. |

Sally paints .25 of the house each hour (1/4)
John paints .167 of the house each hour (1/6) Together, they paint .417 of the house each hour 1/.417 = 2.398 hours for both of them to paint the entire house together converting 2.398 hours into hours:minutes, you get 2:24

remember " is over of is percent over 100"
or is/of = x/100 so " 4 is 80 percent of 5" or 4/5 (Is/of) = 80/100 (percent over a hundred) and yes I realize the phrase "percent over a hundred" is incorrect. Just know the difference and go with it. So A what is X percent of B? => A/B = X/100 |
