✔ 最佳答案

1. $2100/(1+16 2/3%)
=$2100/(1+ 50/3%)
=$2100/(1+50/300)
=$2100/(350/300)
=$2100/(7/6)
=$2100 x 6/7
=$1,800

2. Cost of the chair = $285/(1-5%)
= $285/95%
= $285/(95/100)
= $285/(19/20)
= $285 x 20/19
= $300
New selling price = $285 x (1+20%)
= $285 x 120/100
= $285 x 6/5
= $342
Profit Percentage = ($342 - $300)/$300 x100%
=$42/$300 x100%
=$7/$50 x 100%
= 14%

3. Let y be the amount of money he had at first
y (1-20%) (1-25%) = $30
y (80%) (75%) = $30
0.6y = $30
y = $50

4. x (1+5%) = 315
x (105%) = 315
1.05x=315
x = 300
