Answer 1

Answer:

Given:-

⇢ If the list price of a toy is reduced by $2,a person can buy 2 toys more for $360.

ㅤ

Find:-

⇢ Find the orginal price of toy.

ㅤ

Calculations:-

• Let x be the number of toys.
• Let y be the price of each toy.

ㅤ

As per the given chase:

⇢ xy = $360

⇢ x = 360/y

ㅤ

Adding values from the above equation:

⇢ (x ± 2) = 360

⇢ 2y - 2(360/y) - 4 = 0

⇢ y² - 2y - 360 = 0

⇢ y(y - 20) + 18(y - 20) = 0

⇢ 360/18

⇢ 20

ㅤㅤㅤ

Therefore,

y = 20

ㅤ

Therefore, 20 is the required price of toy.
