Answer:
Let C be the cost price of the article. Then:
C(1+30%)=marked price
So:
C(1+30%)=C(1.3)
=1.3C
If the article is then marked down 35%, then its’ price would be:
1.3C(1–35%)=1.3C(.65)
=0.845 or 84.5% of its’ cost
Then:
0.845–1=-0.155
or, a 15.5% loss on the item
The problem tells you that a circle with radius 21 inches is painted in two colors. The two colors cover equal areas, so each color is half the area of the circle. You need to find half of the area of the circle. To do that, use the formula for the area of a circle, and then divide by 2.



Half the circle has area 1384.74 square inches / 2 = 692.37 square inches.
Answer: Each color covers 692.37 square inches.
the equation for the stated problem would be:
3x ≥ -6
