The $25.10 is 108% of the sale price.

$25.10 = 1.08n  divide both sides by 1.08 = $23.24
To find the original price we must say that the sale price is 80% of the original price.
So we can write $23.24 = 80% of n or $23.24 = .8n   Dividing both side by .8 we get $29.05.  
So how can we do both of these in one equation?  Here is one way.
($25.10/ 1.08) = .8n   (I wrote it as two equation above since it explains it better)
There are other equations that will work too.

Jana joined a music club that offered her 5 CDs for a total of 3.00 if she agreed to purchase an additional 10 CDs for 15.00 eac
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Average price, excluding taxes, for each CD is <u>10.20</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of first 5 CDs, C_1 = 3.00

Cost of each additional CD = 15.00

Now, cost of 10 additional CDs is the product of cost of one CD and total number of additional CDs. Therefore,

Cost of 10 additional CDs is, C_2=15.00\times 10=150.00

Now, total CDs purchased by Jana are, N=5+10=15

Total cost of the 15 CDs purchased is given as:

C_T=C_1+C_2=3.00+150.00=153.00

Now, average price, excluding taxes, for each CD is given as:

\textrm{Average price}=\frac{\textrm{Total cost of purchase}}{\textrm{Total number of CDs purchased}}\\\\\textrm{Average price}=\frac{C_T}{N}=\frac{153.00}{15}=10.20

Therefore, the average price, excluding taxes, for each CD is 10.20.

In the diagram of right triangle ABC shown below, AB = 14 and AC = 9. What is the measure of angle A to the nearest degree?
olga_2 [115]

This question is incomplete because it lacks the diagram of the right angled triangle. Find attached to this answer the diagram of the right angle triangle.

Answer:

d-50

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached diagram, the only way to solve for this is the use of the trigonometric function. The trigonometric function to be used is the cosine function.

From the diagram, we are given

Hypotenuse = AB = 14

Adjacent = AC = 9

The measure of angle A to the nearest degree is calculated as:

cos θ = Adjacent / Hypothenuse

cos θ = 9/14

θ = cos -¹ (9/14) or arccos(9/14)

θ = 49.994799115°

To the nearest degree = 50°

Therefore,the measure of angle A to the nearest degree = 50°
