A collector has a box of 32 figurines.The value of each figurine increased by 2.32 over the past year.The box of figurines is now worth $144.24.What was the original cost,x, of one figurine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial box of figurine = 32

Price increase = 2.32

Current worth = $144.24

Let x be the initial cost of boxes of figurine.

(32 * x) * 2.32 = $144.24.

74.24x = $144.24.

x = $144.24/74.24

= $1.94.

Therefore the original cost of the box of figurine is $1.94.

Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

32(x + 2.32) = 144.24

use distributive property:

32x + 74.24 = 144.24

next, use inverse operation to get the coeficcient alone:

32x + 74.24 - 74.24 = 144.24 - 74.24

32x = 144.24 - 74.24

32x = 40

now to get x alone, do the inverse operation again:

32x/32 = 40/32

x = 1.25
