Answer:

The original selling price was \$75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the original selling price

we know that

100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80

so

0.80(x)=60 -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by 0.80 both sides

x=60/0.80=\$75

\frac{a}{w}=\frac{p}{100}

\frac{a}{240}=\frac{0.075}{100}

240x0.075=100a

=0.018x100

Functions & (f o g) (#)
sertanlavr [38]
Hello there!

I'm assuming since there is no question, that you want an explanation for composite functions.

Today, I want to introduce you to a very new way of looking at functions. Think of a function as a machine. I'll call this machine f. When you plug something into this machine, it is an x-value. The machine changes the x-value into a new value which is called a y-value. This is how a function works.

With composite functions though, things get a little bit tricky. To make f(g(x)), you need to plug in x into the g machine, and it will give you an output. (y-value) The next thing you do is take that y-value and plug it into the g machine. The g machine then gives you a new value. This value is f(g(x)).

Let's do an example together...
f(x)=3x and g(x)=x²+4
if we want f(g(x)), first plug in x to the g machine. when plugging in x to the g machine, we get x²+4 as given in the question.
Now we must plug in g(x) into the f machine. Since g(x) is x²+4, we just replace x with x²+4.
We get 3(x²+4)
This means that f(g(x))=3(x²+4)

NOTE: If you are seeking help with an actual question, please message me in the comments and I will assist you shortly!

I hope this helps!
Best wishes :)

Answer:

Perimeter of triangle J= 18.0 units (3 s.f.)

Perimeter of triangle K= 19.0 units (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each side of the triangle can be found using the distance formula below:

\boxed{d=  \sqrt{(y1- y2)^{2} + (x1 - x2)^{2}  } }

Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
