A local discount store is famous for their motto, "Shop with us and you'll pay 20% less". Their claim is that every item in the

store is already marked down 20% off of retail prices. In this Sunday's ad, they are advertising a scuba mask and snorkel set at their discount price of $28. Use a percent model to determine the original retail price of the scuba mask and snorkel set.

Answer:

Original retail price: $35

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off means that the discounted price is equivalent to 80% (100% - 20%) of the retail price.  

Calling x the retail price of the scuba mask and snorkel set, then a discounted price of $28 means that this amount of money is 80% of x. Mathematically:

80*x/100 = $28

x = $28*100/80

x = $35

Use percentage multipliers:
$28/0.8 = $35
The original price of the set is $35.

Hope This Helps!

Extra points!! A candle is 17 in tall after burning for 3 hours. After 5
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1) h=-t+20  

2) 12 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case:

y=h (The height of the candle in inches)

x=t (The time in hours)

Then, we can rewrite it:

h=mt+b

Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:

(3,17) and (5,15)

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}:

 m=\frac{15-17}{5-3}=-1

Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into  h=mt+b  and then solve for "b":

17=(-1)(3)+b\\\\b=17+3\\\\b=20

Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:

h=-t+20  

2) We must substitute t=8 into the linear equation  h=-t+20 in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:

 h=-(8)+20\\\\h=12

You download eight songs onto a music player. If you play three of the songs using the random shuffle option, how many ways can
Dmitrij [34]
Every time you play a song 8 different songs can be played, since you do this 3 times:
8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512
Or, an easier way to write this if play them many times:
{8}^{3}  = 512
In which the 8 is how many options and the 3 how many times you play.
