Ok
so paid 16
20% off
original-20%=16
that means the shorts were 100-20=80% of the original cost

percent means parts out of 100
80%=80/100=0.80

16=0.8 of ogirinal cost
'of' means mutpliy
16=0.8 times original
divide both sides by 0.8
16/0.8=ogirinal
20==originall

$20=original price

If f(x)=2-x^1/2 and g(x)+x^2-9, what is the domain of g(x)/f(x)?

Dominik [7]

As far a domain, you only care about the denominator and radicals.

f(x) = 2 - √x is the denominator, so it can't be 0.
Also x is under a radical, so x can't be negative.
Set the denominator equal to 0 to find the excluded values.

2 - √x = 0
-√x = -2
√x = 2
x = 4, so 4 is an excluded value

The domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0, except 4.
[0, 4) U (4, ∞)
0 ≤ x < 4 U x > 4
