\(3\ x \ + \ 7 \ = \ 106\)
reduce \(7\) both sides: \(3\ x \ = \ 99\)
Divide both sides by \(3\): \(x \ = \ 33\)

The correct answer is \((200) \ (0.90) \ (0.75)\)
To find the discount, multiply the number by (\(100\)% – rate of discount).
Therefore, for the first discount we get: \((200) \ (100\)% \( – \ 10\)%) \( = \ (200) \ (0.90) \ = \ 180\)
For the next \(25%\) discount: \((200) \ (0.90) \ (0.75)\)

Use PEMDAS (order of operation):
\(7 \ + \ 4 \ × \ (–\ 3) \ – \ [5 \ + \ 11 × \ 5] \ ÷ \ 3 \ = \ 7 \ + \ 4 \ × \ (–\ 3) \ – \ [4 \ +  \ 55] \ ÷ \ 3 \ =\)
\( 7 \ + \ 4 \ × \ (–\ 3) \ – \ [60] \ ÷ \ 3 \ = \ 7 \ + \ (-\ 12) \ – \ 20 \ = \ –\ 5 \ –\  20 = –\ 25\)

The correct answer is \(25\)%
Write the equation and solve for B:
\(0.20 \ A \ = \ 0.80 \ B\), divide both sides by \(0.80\), then:
\(\frac{0.20}{0.80} A \ = \ B\), therefore: 
\(B = \frac{1}{4} A\), and \(B\) is \(\frac{1}{4}\) times of \(A\) or it’s \(25\)% of \(A\).

The correct answer is \(70\)

Let \(x\) be the number. Write the equation and solve for \(x\).
\((48 \ – \ x) \ ÷ \ x \ = \ 5\)
Multiply both sides by x.
\((48 \ – \ x) \ = \ 5\ x\), then add x both sides:
\(48 \ = \ 6\ x\), now divide both sides by \(6\):
\(x \ = \ 8\)

The correct answer is \(36\)
The sum of supplement angles is \(180\) . Let \(x\) be that angle.Therfore,

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
\(2\ x \ - \ y \ = \ -\ 3\)
\(4\ x \ + \ 2\ y \ = \ 6\)
Multiply the first equation by \(2\), then add it to the second equation.
\(2\ (2\ x \ - \ y \ = -\ 3\))
\(4\ x \ + \ 2\ y \ = \ 6\)             
\(⇒\)
\(4\ x \ - \ 2\ y \ =  -\ 6\) 
\(4\ x \ + \ 2\ y \ =  6⇒8\ x = 0 ⇒ x = 0\)

Add the first \(5\) numbers. \(20\) + \(45\) + \(40\) + \(35\) + \(50\) = \(190\)
To find the distance traveled in the next \(2\) hours, multiply the average by the number of hours.  
Distance = Average \(×\) Rate = \(60\) \(×\) \(2\) = \(120\)
Add both numbers.  \(120\) + \(190\) = \(310\)

The correct answer is \(6\) hours and \(24\) minutes
Use the distance formula: 
Distance \(=\) Rate \(×\) time \(⇒\) \(320\) = \(50\) \(×\) T , divide both sides by \(50\) .  \(320\) \(÷\) \(50\) \(=\) T \(⇒\) T \(=\) \(6.4\) hours.
Change hours to minutes for the decimal part. \(0.4\) hours \(=\) \(0.4\) \(×\) \(60\) \(=\) \(24\) minutes

The correct answer is \(200\)
Use percent formula\(:\) 
Part \(=\) \(\frac{percent}{100}\) \(×\) whole
\(30\) \(=\) \(\frac{percent}{100}\) \(×\) \(15\) \(⇒\) \(30\) \(=\) \(\frac{percent × 15}{100}\) multiply both sides by \(100\)
\(3000\) \(=\)  percent  \(×\) \(15\), divide both sides by \(15\)
percent \(=\) \(200\)

The correct answer is \(260\)
Therefore, the missing side (height) is  \(=\)  \(64\)  \(-\)  \(18\)  \(-\)  \(12\)  \(-\)  \(14\)  \(=\)  \(20\)

\(4\) \(×\) \(48\) \(=\) \(3\ x\) \(⇒\) \(192\)  \(=\) \(3\ x\) \(⇒\) \(x\) \(=\) \(64\)

The correct answer is \(78\)% 
To find the discount, multiply the number by (\(100\)% – rate of discount).
Therefore, for the first discount we get: (D) (\(100\% – (25)\%) \)= (D) (\(0.75) = (0.75\) D)
For increase of \(5\%: (0.75\) D) (\(100\%  \ + \ 5\%)= (0.75\)D) (\(1.05\)D) \(=0.78\)D \(= (78\%) \)of D

\(\frac{35 - 50}{50}\) \(×\) \(100\)% \(=\) \(-30\)% (negative sign here means that the new price is less than old price).

The correct answer is: \( I >\) \(1900\ x\) \(+\) \(25000\)
Let \(x\) be the number of years. Therefore, \($1900\) per year equals \(1900x\).
starting from \($25000\) annual salary means you should add that amount to \(1900x\).
Income more than that is:
\(I >\) \(1900\ x\) \(+\) \(25000\)

The correct answer is \(26.2\%\)
The question is this: \($620\) is what percent of \($840\) ?
Use percent formula:
\(Part\) \(=\) \(\frac{percent}{100}\) \(×\) whole
\(620\) \(=\) \(\frac{percent}{100}\) \(×\) \(840\) \(⇒\) \(620\) \(=\)  \(\frac{percent × 840}{100}\) \(⇒\) \(62000\) \(=\) percent \(×\) \(840\) \(⇒\)
percent \(=\) \(\frac{62000}{840}\) \(=\) \(73.8\)
