Question

a bag is sold for a loss of 10% if it was sold for $45 more, the seller would have gained a profit of 5%. what was the cost price of the bag

Answer 1

\(x-0.10x+45=x+0.5x\) solve for \(x\)

do you see how I set that up?

Answer 2

\(x-0.10x+45=x+0.05x\)

Answer 3

typo*

Answer 4

I think this is correct.
\[x=price sold for\]
\[y=cost price\]
\[x=0.9y \]
\[x=1.05y-45\]
Substitute first equation value for x into the second equation.
