Answer:

45.71 = original price

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is equal to the original price minus the discount

sale price = original price - discount

The discount is equal to the original price times the percent off

discount = original price * percent off

Substitute into the first equation

sale price = original price - original price * percent off

Factor out the original price

sale price = original price (1-percent off)

We know the sale price=32 and the discount = 30% = .3

32 = original price (1-.3)

32 = original price (.7)

Divide each side by .7

32/.7 = original price (.7)/.7

45.71 = original price

The maximum weight that could be held would be 32 pounds. or six five pound weights taking up 18 inches of space, and weighing 30 Lbs, and two one pound weights adding another two inches. You could achieve a greater weight if you had a weight of one-half inch, in which case you could take six 5 lb weights and 1 two pound weight, then you could add a half inch weight bringing the weight to over 32 inches. Since we don't have a half inch weight we can't raise the weight above 32lbs.
