1. y = 125 because 75 x .6 = 125
2. c = 120 because 25 x .2 = 120
3. The dollar amount of his sales was $2560. Basically, the same as the others. $128 x .05 = c (commission).
4. $195.50 because 230 x .15 = 34.50 (the amount taken off). So subtract 24.50 from 230 and you get 195.50

1. 0.60 x y = 75
y = 75/ 0.60
y = 125
2. 0.20 x c = 24
c = 24 / .20
c = 120
3. 0.05 x Price = $128
Price = 128/ .05
Price = $2560
4. 100% - 15% = 85%
$230 x 0.85 = Sale Price
$195.50 = Sale Price

you should really be able to answer the fourth one on your own, thats like real life knowledge... and if you cant do it maybe math is too hard for you
230 divided by 15 = x
230 - x = your answer
