Answer:
The original price of the coat is $46
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we need to start with the cost after the discount. We can then divide this by the amount in percentage that we paid. Since it is 25% off, we paid 75%.
$34.50/75% = $46
Answer:
31,250 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the ends of the rectangle will have dimesion (500-x)/2, and the total area will be ...
... A = x(500-x)/2
This function describes a parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=500. The vertex (maximum) will be located halfway between these, at x=250.
The maximum size pen has area ...
... A = 250(500 -250)/2 = 31,250 . . . . sq ft
