At a sale, dresses were sold for $144 each. If the dresses originally cost $200, what percentage of its original price was a dress sold for?

28% (because it was marked down by $56 dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

144/200 = 72%

100% (200) - 72% (144) = 28% (56)

56/200 = 28%

28% (56) + 72% (144) = 100% (200)

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
