The 114 represents 80% of the total price before the sale. You would set up your equation as

Cost Price * 80% = Sale Price.

Sale Price = 114

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

Cost Price = 114/0.8

Cost Price = 142.50 which is the price before the deduction. You can confirm this by taking 20% of 142.50 and subtracting it form 142.50

20% * 142.50

20/100 * 142.50

2850/100

28.50

Now subtract 28.50 from 142.50

142.50 - 28.50 = 114 which is just what you might expect.

Consider the following proposed proof by contradiction that for all positive integers n, 3n > 2.
laila [671]

Answer:

The proof contains a simple direct proof, wrapped inside the unnecessary logical packaging of a proof by contradiction framework.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof is rigourous and well written, so we discard the second answer.

This is not a fake proof by contradiction: it does not have any logical fallacies (circular arguments) or additional assumptions, like, for example, the "proof" of "All the horses are the same color". It is factually correct, but it can be rewritten as a direct proof.

A meaningful proof by contradiction depends strongly on the assumption that the statement to prove is false. In this argument, we only this assumption once, thus it is innecessary. Other proofs by contradiction, like the proof of "The square root of 2 is irrational" or Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes, develop a longer argument based on the new assumption, but this proof doesn't.

To rewrite this without the superfluous framework, erase the parts "Suppose that the statement is false" and "The fact that the statement is true contradicts the assumption that the statement is false. Thus, the assumption that the statement was false must have been false. Thus, the statement is true."

Find the value of the variable. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.
tester [92]

So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.

Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:

17 × 2 = 34

Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:

17 × √3 = 17√3

<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>
