Answer:

$42.60

Step-by-step explanation:

|Here's why!|

Step 1. Figure out what formula you need to use, plug in the percentage as a decimal like this.

Formula = ( 1 - (decimal) = Number for step 2

so 1 - .15 = .85

Step 2. Divide the sales price by the new number we have!

Formula = (sales price) ÷ (the number you get from formula 1)

so $36.21 divided by .85 = $42.60!

To check your work do 42.60 x 0.15 = 6.39 then subtract

do 42.60 - 6.39 and you get 36.21!

Hope this helped!

1-0.15=0.85
36.21/0.85=42.6=ANSWER

What is the value of x in the figure below?

zhenek [66]

Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.

For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15

For ABC, it is 20,

so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'

x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)

So:

20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4

Which is C

Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!

Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:

x * 20 = 15 * 15

I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!

Which graph shows the solution to this system of inequalities?<br><br> y<-1/3x+1<br> y<_2x-3

kari74 [83]

The graph that shows the solution to the system of inequalities is: C (see the image attached below).

<h3>How to Determine the Graph of the Solution to a System of Inequalities?</h3>

Given the following systems of inequalities:

y < -1/3x + 1

y ≤ 2x - 3

Below are the features of the graph that represents a solution to the system of inequalities:

The boundary line of y < -1/3x + 1 would be a dashed line and the shaded area would be below it, because of the inequality sign, "<".
The boundary lines of y ≤ 2x - 3 would be a solid line and the shaded area would be below it, because of the inequality sign, "≤".
The slope of the shaded line that represents y < -1/3x + 1, would be -1/3, and the line would be a decreasing line which intersects the y-axis at 1.
The slope of the line that represents y ≤ 2x - 3, would be 2, and the line would also be an increasing line that intersects the y-axis at -3.

Therefore, the graph that shows the solution to the system of inequalities is: C (see the image attached below).

1. If the domain of a function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}. What does the information tell you about f-1(x)?

ziro4ka [17]

PART A (1 in diagram)

Each mapping diagram represents a function because none of the elements in the inputs maps on to two different elements in the outputs.

1. The domain of the given function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}.

All we can say about

${f}^{ - 1} (x)$

is that, it has a range of {10, 20, 30}.

This is because the domain of a function becomes the range of its inverse function.

2. If the graph of a function f(x) includes the point (3, 0), then the graph of the inverse function ,

${f}^{ - 1} (x)$

will contain the point (0,3).

Reason:The point on the graph of the inverse function is obtained by reflecting the corresponding point on the graph of the function in the line y=x. We just have to swap the coordinates.

In simple terms the domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse function and vice versa.

3. If the first term in an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Then we have a=2.

If the twelfth term is 211, then

$a + 11d = 211...(1)$
