If the sale price is $40 and the discount is 25%, what is the original price?

Mathematics

Use this equation to solve the problem:

x - (x * .25) = 40

This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.

x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33

The original price was $53.33

Maggie was doing research for her Ph.D. in physics when a 12 mg sample of radioactive material decayed to 3 mg in 26 minutes. De
netineya [11]

The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms.  But that's not
necessary with these numbers.

Look at the numbers:

-- 3 mg is  1/4  of  12 mg.

-- 1/4  is the product of  (1/2) x (1/2).

-- So the  3 mg is what's left of  12 mg after  2  half-lives.
The  26  minutes must be two half-lives.

-- The half-life of that substance is  26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Go Maggie !

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = 12x + 7. What is the slope of the equation? −12 −7 12 7
BabaBlast [244]
Well,

Slope-intercept form is given as follows:
y = mx + b

In this equation, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.

y = 12x + 7

We can clearly see that the 12 in the equation is the "m" in the general slope-intercept form.

Therefore, the slope of the equation is 12.

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Option \ 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf (\frac{4}{5})^3 \\\\

This means that 4/5 repeats itself 3 times.

So,

\sf = \frac{4}{5} * \frac{4}{5} * \frac{4}{5} \\\\= \frac{64}{125} \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
