Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' theorem for the smallest one :

$c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2$

$c^2 = 16 + 36$

$c^{2}$ = 52

Pythagoras' theorem for the middle one :

$b^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + $a^{2}$

Pythagoras' theorem for the biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + b^2$

Using the formula before (for $b^2$ ) it becomes :

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + (6^2 + a^2)$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + 6^2 + a^2$

$16 + 8a = 52 + 6^2$

16 + 8a = 52 + 36

16+8a = 88

8a = 88-16

8a = 72

$a = \frac{72}{8}$

a = 9

Verifying :

$b^2 = 6^2 + a^2$

$b^2 = 36 + 81$

$b^2 = 117$

$b^{2}$ = 117

The biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$(4+9)^2 = 52 + 117$

$13^2 = 169$

A. Identify the percentage, rate and base.

Finger [1]

Answer:

1. rate = 30, base = 40, percentage = 12

2. rate = 6, base = 24, percentage = 25

3. rate = 16, base = 64, percentage = 25

4. rate = 4, base = 50, percentage = 20

5. rate = 75, base = 80, percentage = 60

Answer:

C. AB = 5.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In trapezoid ABCD, EF is the Midsegment.

.:. EF = {(AB+CD)

.:: 9.2 = {(AB + 12.6)

:: 9.2 x 2 = AB + 12.6

.. 18.4 = AB + 12.6

.. 18.4-12.6 = AB

:: AB = 5.8 cm
