Answer: 18 note pads sold and price for each is $2.03

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an algebra problem

denoting k as the price  of each note pads

denoting m as the number of notepads sold

from the problem statement "The bookstore marked some notepads down from ​$3.00 but still kept the price over ​$2.00"

k < $3.00 and k > $2.00

the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

thus km = $36.55

        m  = $36.55/k

when k < $3.00 when k is maximum, m will be minimum m > $12.18

when k > $2.00 when k is minimum, m will be maximum m < $18.28

if m is the number of notepads sold, the value of m must be a whole number, then minimum value is

thus we iterate to get the minimum

for m = 15

   k = $36.55/15 = $2.44

for m = 16

   k = $36.55/16 = $2.28

for m = 17

   k = $36.55/17 = $2.15

for m = 18

   k = $36.55/18 = $2.03

for m = 19

   k = $36.55/19 = $1.92

The number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

Let's assume, the price of each notepad is X and the number of notepads sold is Y

As the price of each notepad is below $3.00 and over $2.00 , that means

X < 3.00 and X > 2.00

As the number of notepads sold is Y, so the total price of all X number of notepads will be : XY

Here it is given that, the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

So, XY = 36.55

⇒ Y = \frac{36.55}{X}

For X < 3.00 ,

Y > \frac{36.55}{3.00} (when X is max, then Y will be min)

⇒ Y > 12.183

and for X > 2.00,

Y < \frac{36.55}{2.00} (when X is min, then Y will be max)

⇒ Y < 18.275

As here Y is the number of notepads sold, so the value of Y must be a whole number. The minimum value of Y will be 13 and maximum value will be 18.

Now we will use hit and trial method

If Y= 13 , then X = \frac{36.55}{13} = 2.81153846....

If Y= 14 , then X = \frac{36.55}{14} = 2.6107142...

If Y= 15 , then X = \frac{36.55}{15} = 2.43666666...

If Y= 16 , then X = \frac{36.55}{16} = 2.2843..

If Y= 17 , then X = \frac{36.55}{17} = 2.15

and if Y = 18 , then X = \frac{36.55}{18} = 2.0305555...

So, for getting XY= 36.55 exactly, the value of X= 2.15 and the value of Y=17.

So, the number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

You are given that &lt;GHJ is a complement of &lt;RST and &lt;RST is a supplement of &lt;ABC. Let m&lt;GHJ be x°. What is the me
MAVERICK [17]

∠GHJ and ∠RST are complementary

⇒  ∠GHJ and ∠RST = 90°

And ∠RST and ∠ABC are supplementary

⇒  ∠RST and ∠ABC = 180°

Also, ∠GHJ = x°

⇒ ∠RST = 90° - x°

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - ∠RST

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - (90° - x°)

⇒ ∠ABC = 90° + x°
