Answer:
$40
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the original price of the gift
(10% of x) is the value of the discount
(10% of x) = 10/100 . x = 0.1 x
0.1 x is the value of the discount
x - (10% of x) is what was paid, after the discount
x - 0.1 x = 0.9 x
0.9 x is what was paid
4 children paid $9/each
4 times $9 = $36
$36 is the total amount that was paid by the children
$36 = 0.9 x
$36 / 0.9 = x
x = $36 / 0.9 = 360 / 9
x = 40

Answer:
The player with the most runs had a rush of 1,240 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of yards that was rushed by one of two person given their combined run and an extra information.
Firstly, let the person that had the smaller number of rush have a rush of x rushes. The second person has a rush of 4 times the other. This makes a number of 4x rushes
By adding both together, we have a total of 1550 yards
Mathematically, this means that x + 4x = 1550
5x = 1550
x = 1550/5 = 310 rushes
The second player had a rush of 4x and that is 4 * 310 = 1,240 rushes
This figure is a triangle. Using the definition of triangles, it is determined that angles 1, 2, and 3 add up to 180 degrees. In this instance, we know the values of 2 combined angles. With this information it is only necessary to subtract the values of angles 1 and 2 (134) from 180 degrees to find the value of angle 3. This leads us to the solution that angle 3 has a value of 46 degrees.
