Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be X

18% discount means 100-18 = 82% to be paid

20% discount means 100-20 = 80% to be paid

(0.8)(0.82)X = 328

0.656X = 328

X = 328/0.656

X = 500

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

Take the first discount

x - 18 percent

x - .18x = new price

x( 1-.18)

x ( .82) = new price

Now we take a 20 percent discount

This is on the discounted price, use .82x

.82x - 20 percent= 2nd discounted price

.82x - .20(.82x)

.82x -.164x

.656x= 2nd discounted price

.656x = 328

Divide each side by.656

.656x/.656 = 328/.656

x =500

The original price was 500

a math student is standing 40 feet from the base of a water tower. the angle of elevation from her horizontal line of sight is 7
Lerok [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

  tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

  tower height = eye height + height above eye height

  tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

  tower height = 128 ft
