Answer 2

Answer:

    x = 123.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent may be represented as 10% or a decimal (for example, 0.10) or as a fraction (for example) 10/100.

x = (100%)(y)-(10%)(y) = (90%)(y) = (0.90)(y)

  and y = (100%)(125) + (10%)(125) = (110%)(125) = (1.10)(125)

 

Let's solve for y:

    y = (1.10)(125)

    y = 137.5

 

Now, solve for x:

    x = (0.90)*(137.5)

    x = 123.75
