Answer:

The original regular price for the coat is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in the question are;

The percentage that was off (removed) from the sale price = 30%

The sale price at which Jerry bought the coat = $63

Whereby the regular price = P, we have;

P - 30% of P = $63

P - 0.3×P = $63

P×(1 - 0.3) = $63

0.7·P = $63

P = $63/0.7 = $90

Therefore, the regular (original) price for the coat = $90

The coat regular price at which the coat is displayed is at $90.

Answer:

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the width of the frame picture

we know that

$(28-2x)(32-2x)=192$

$896-56x-64x+4x^{2} =192$

$4x^{2}-120x+704=0$

Simplify

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

$a=1\\b=-30\\c=176$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{(-30)^{2}-4(1)(176)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {2}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)14} {2}$

$x=\frac{30+14} {2}=22\ cm$ ----> this solution is not logic

$x=\frac{30-14} {2}=8\ cm$

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$

2 times 2 and three forths

Mrrafil [7]

2 * 2 and 3/4.

2 and 3/4 = (4*2 + 3) / 4 = (8 + 3) / 4 = 11 / 4

2 * 11/4 = 22 / 4 = 5 and 2/4

= 5 and 2/4 or 5 and 1/2 or 5.5

Hope this helps.
