Answer:

The original price of an item less a discount of 20% is 0.8p where p is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an algebraic expression that represents the original price of an item less a discount of 20%

Let the original price of the item be p

The meaning of the ‘less’ is that we are subtracting 20% of the price from the original price ;

So 20% of the price will be 20/100 * p = 20p/100 = p/5 = 0.2p

So let’s take this away from the original price p

That will be;

p - 0.2p = p(1-0.2) = 0.8p

A 1414​-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the​ wall?
viva [34]
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.

Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.

Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h.  Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14.  theta is

0.365 radian.  Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is 

14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet.  This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.

Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.
