Peter was thinking of a number. peter adds 6 to it, then doubles it and gets an answer of 48.5. what was the original numbe

The original number was 18.25 or 18 1/4

18.25 plus 6 is 24.25

24.25 times 2 is 48.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.
