The original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend $7.60 on each CD.

Steps to translate the given word problem to a linear equation.

  1. Read carefully the problem
  2. Find out what value is given, what is required, and what is asked to find.
  3. Use variables to represent the unknowns. A variable is usually represented by a letter such as x, p, m, and so on.
  4. Translate the problem into equations.
  5. Solve the equations using elimination, substitution, or graph method.

In the given problem, let p be the original price of each CD.

The CD is on sale for 80%, therefore, $30.40 is the total money spent for 4 discounted CDs.

We can represent this as:

    4 x (80% x p) = 30.40

     4 (0.8p) = 30.40

      3.2 p = 30.40

            p = 9.50

Hence, the original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend = 0.8 x $9.50 = $7.60 on each CD

All triangles add up to 180 degrees. Since sines can't be a negative, you need to add -130 to 180. The answer to this question would be sine 50 degrees.
