Answer:

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) Lina was having $74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of  the bags be 'x'

and,

the money Lina had be 'y'

then according to the question

Price of red bag after 15% discount = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Price of red bag after 20% discount = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

also,

0.85x = y + $2.5 ...........(1)

0.80x = y - $2  .............(2)

subtracting the equation (2) from  (1), we get

    0.85x = y + $2.5

- ( 0.80x = y - $2   )

===================

      0.05x = $4.5

or

x = $90

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) on substituting the value of x in the equation (1), we get

0.85 × 90 = y + $2.5

or

76.5 = y + $2.5

or

y = $74

Hence, Lina was having $74

Find the perimeter of the figure​
irinina [24]

Answer:

114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We split the figure into two rectangles. The long triangles perimeter is equal to 30 + 30 + 9 + 9 = 78. Then, the top triangle is equal to 9 + 9 + 9 + 9, which is equal to 36. Then to find the perimeter of the entire figure, we add these two shapes together, 78 + 36, which gets us to our final answer, 114 ft.
