To find the original price before the increase, divide the new price by 1 + the percent of increase.

198 / 1.20 = 165

The original price was $165

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. If the digits are reversed,the new number is 9 more than the original number.F
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be xy where y is unit and x is tens hence original number is 10x+y When reversed, the new number is yz hence 10y+x

We know that the original number plus 9 is the reversed number hence

10x+y+9=10y+x

9y-9x=9 which when simplified we obtain that

y-x=1 equation 1

Originally, we are told that the sum of x and y is 9 hence

y+x=9 equation 2

Solving equation 1, it means y=x+1

Substituting the above into equation 2

x+1+x=9

2x=9-1

2x=8

x=8/2=4

Since y=x+1 then y=4+1=5

Therefore, the original number, xy is 45

Answer for 5 stars answer and a heart with a comment. Please hurry!
klio [65]

Answer:

Length of the person = 1.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual length of the lorry = 9.5 m

Length of the lorry as per scale = 10 cm

Scale factor used to get the actual length of the lorry = \frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Length on scale}}

                                                                                         = \frac{9.5}{10}

                                                                                         = 0.95 : 1

Let the actual length of the person = x meters

Length of the person as per scale = 2 cm

Scale factor used to get the length of person is same.

Therefore, relation between the actual length of the person and scale length will be,

\frac{x}{2}= \frac{0.95}{1}

x = 2 × 0.95

x = 1.9 meters

Solve the following polynomial function. y=x^4−21x^2−100
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

y= x⁴ -21x²-100

combine x's I think

x⁴= 1x? cuz if it's 1x⁴ that's 1x*1x*1x*1x = 1x

1x * -21x²

-21x * -21x = 441x

+1x = 442x

y= 442x -100

I'm not sure if I did that right
