The discount was 35% so the sale price was actually 65% of the original price ( 100% - 35% = 65%)

To find the original price, divide the sale price by the percent ( as a decimal) of the original price ( 65% = 0.65)

56.80 / 0.65 = 87.38

to check: multiply the calculated original price 87.38 by 35% discount and subtract:

87.38 x 0.35 = 30.58
87.38 - 30.58 = 56.80 which equals the sale price

The original price was $87.38

Discount = 35%
Percentage after discount = 100% - 35% = 65%

65% = $56.80
1% = $0.8738
100% = $87.38

Answer: The original price is $87.38

Answer:

The probability is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating that if a coin is flipped three times, we have the outcome in the question; THH

Now before we go on to calculate this probability, we need to understand some technicalities. Flipping a coin can only result into two outcomes as there are only two sides of a coin. These are the head and the tail. What this means is that if a coin is flipped, we should only expect landing on the head and on the tail.

Now these opposite sides have equal probability. This means the probability of landing on the head = probability of landing on the tail. These probabilities are equal as they are the only two options we have. Hence, the probabilities are 1/2 each

Hence, P(H) = P(T) = 1/2

Now, we proceed to calculating the probability of HTT

this mathematically means P(H) * P(T) * P(T) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Answer:

${ \tt{ = \frac{ {p}^{2} + 8p + 16 }{ {p}^{2} - 16 } }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ \frac{ {(x + 4)}^{2} }{(x - 4)(x + 4)} }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ \frac{(x + 4)}{(x - 4)} }}$
