$1500!

20% off of $1500 would be $300. $1500 - $300 = $1200. Therefore the original sales price was $1500!

Answer:

$1,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The discounted amount is a function of the original amount. The discount when subtracted from the original sales price gives the price after discount.

If the amount after discount is $1200 and the discount is 20%, let the original sales price be x.

Then,

x - (20% × x) = $1200

80% × x = $1200

x = $1,500

The original sales price is $1,500

If f(x) = V7x + 31 , find f(0).

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

f(0) = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

$f(x) = \sqrt{7x} + 31$

f(0).

This is the value of f when $x = 0$ . So

$f(0) = \sqrt{7*0} + 31 = \sqrt{0} + 31 = 0 + 31 = 31$

So f(0) = 31
