Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an original price p

We mark them up by 50%

p + p*50%

Changing to decimal form

p+.50p = 1.5p

The new price is 60 dollars

1.5p = 60

Divide each side by 1.5

1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5

p =40

The original price is 40

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the cost

150% of C = 60

150/100 × C = 60

C = 60 × 100/150

C = 40

Using suitable identity find 231^222-131^2

Sliva [168]

Given:

Consider the expression is

$231^2-131^2$

To find:

The value of given expression using a suitable identity.

Solution:

We have,

$231^2-131^2$

Using the identity $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$ , we get

$231^2-131^2=(231-131)(231+131)$

$231^2-131^2=(100)(362)$

$231^2-131^2=36200$

Therefore, the value of the given expression is $231^2-131^2=36200$ .

Please solve correctly<br> full explanation please<br> will give brainlist

Answer:

They subtracted the values incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between two points is this:
$\sqrt{} (x_{2} -x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} -y_{1} )^{2}$

The person subtracted the variables incorrectly and subtracted x1 from x2 and y1 from y2 instead of the other way around.

To correctly solve it, do this: $\sqrt{((-7-(-1))^2+(-6-2)^2} = \sqrt{(-6)^{2} + (-8)^{2} } = \sqrt{36+64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$

Hope this helped!
