well, the regular price is really "x", which oddly enough is 100%, but we also know that $358 is really the discounted price by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, so we know that 358 is really just 80% of "x", so

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 358& 80 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{358}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{80} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{358}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=1790\implies x=\cfrac{1790}{4}\implies x\approx 448

20% equals 0.2
100% - 20% = 80% or 0.08

358 / 0.8 = $447.50

Check
447.50 * 0.8 = 358

Determine the relationship between the two vecors
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there exists a scalar  

λ

λ

(namely  

λ=a⋅b

λ=a⋅b

) such that  

b=λa

b=λa

, the directions of the two vertices are the same (they are collinear). This implies that  

|a⋅b|=|a||b|

|a⋅b|=|a||b|

.

So,  

|a|=|(a⋅b)b|=|a||b||b|

|a|=|(a⋅b)b|=|a||b||b|

which implies that  

|b|=1

|b|=1
