a) The expression to find the sale price of pastry =  0.75 x

b)  The regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the regular price of the pastry in the bakery

Percentage of discount = 25%

Amount of discount  = 0.25 x

The expression to find the sale price of pastry = x - 0.25 x = 0.75 x

Step 2 :

Sale price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.03 = 0.75 x

<u>To find the regular price</u>

0.75x = 2.03

x = \frac{2.03}{0.75} = 2.70

Regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

Step 3 :

Answer :

a) The expression to find the sale price of pastry =  0.75 x

b) The regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

A rectangle is shown with length x plus 10 and width 2 x plus 5. The inside of the rectangle is shaded other than an unshaded sq
klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is shown with length x plus 10 and width 2 x plus 5.

so the rectangle area = length * width

= (x + 10) * (2x + 5)

an unshaded square with length x plus 1 and width x plus 1

so the unshaded square area = (x + 1) * (x + 1)

the shaded area = rectangle area - square area

= (x + 10) * (2x + 5) - (x + 1) * (x + 1)

= (2x^2 + 20x + 5x + 50) - (x^2 + x + x + 1)

= x^2 + 23x + 49

A wise man once said, “200 reduced by 3 times my age is 29.” What’s is his age?
ehidna [41]

The man's age is 57 years old.

To find this answer follow the steps below:

1. Subtract 29 from 200 to get 171.

2. Divide 171 by 3 to get 57.

To check this, use the equation 200 - (57 x 3) = 29.

1. 57 x 3 = 171. 200 - 171 = 29

2. 200 - 171 = 29. 29 = 29.

Thus meaning the man is 57 years old. I hope this helps!
