One thousandth= 
x-0.1x=36
where x is the original price
0.1x is the discount (10% of the original price)
36 is the price paid
x-0.1x=36
0.9x=36
----- ----
0.9 0.9
x=40
The original price is $40.00
<u>Answer:</u>
-348
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following arithmetic sequence and we are to find the sum of its first 12 terms:
1, -4, -9, -14, . . .
For that, we will use the formula for the sum of the arithmetic mean:

We know the value of the first term (
) but we need to find the value of
. So we will use the following formula:



Substituting these values in the sum formula to get:

-348
The inver of given function will be (1,-3).
