Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)
Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is
0.75(x + 18)
Applying the distributive property, it becomes
0.75x + 13.5
Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that
0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5
0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5
0.75x = 18
x = 18/0.75
x = $24

(left to right)
4²-(3.1+6.4)+4.5
According to PEMDAS, we will do what is inside the parenthesis.
3.1+6.4 = 9.5
<em>4²-9.5+4.5</em>
Then we do figure out the exponent.
4² = (4)(4) = 16
<em>16-9.5+4.5</em>
Then we do subtraction then addition because PEMDAS also tells us we should do adding and subtracting from left to right. In this expression, subtracting is on the left side so we should do that first.
16-9.5 = 6.5
<em>6.5 + 4.5 = 11</em>
11 is your answer :)
