The best way to go about this questions is to write out a formula in which x represents the original price of the dress: x*0.90=27. To see where the 0.90 came from, if Kate's dress was 10% off, she must have paid 90% of the original price (100%-10%=90%). Then, to convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point twice to the left so 90% becomes 0.90. Then, our formula essentially means that 90% of some number (x) is equal to 27. To solve for x, divide both sides of the formula by 0.90 to get x=$30 which is the final answer.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

The dress was 10% off, so 100% - 10% = 90%

90% is what percent she paid for the dress.

$27 is 90% the original price.

27/x = 90/100

90x = 2700

x = 30

What is the answer to [(x²+4x)-2]²
Rudik [331]

Answer:

x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[(x² + 4x) - 2 ]² ← simplify contents of bracket

= (x² + 4x - 2)² = (x² + 4x - 2)(x² + 4x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(x² + 4x - 2) + 4x(x² + 4x - 2) - 2(x² + 4x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= x^{4} + 4x³ - 2x² + 4x³ + 16x² - 8x - 2x² - 8x + 4 ← collect like terms

= x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4
