I have two questions. I am trying to use the formulas our teacher used but I am still confused. I will discuss it with him tonight but I just wanted to get a different perspective.
#1
Amy paid $102 for a pair New Balance 1122 running shoes during a 15%-off sale. What was the regular price?
#2
The perimeter of the state of Wyoming is 1280 mi. The width is 90 mi less than the length. Find the width and the length.
Thanks.

I figured out #1 just need help with #1
errrgg..i meant i figured out #2 i need help with #1.
My formula is as instructed.
B=a/p (Base=amount/percent)
My answer is:
B=102.00/0.15
B=6.80
so the regular prices is 102.00+6.80=108.80
Is that correcT?

#1-117.3
Thanks. I was translating the problem incorrectly. I got the right answer using the formula
A=P*B
A=15*102
A=15.30
15.30 + 102.00 = 117.30
Thanks.

15.30 + 102.00 = 117.30
Thanks.
