Hey! So first you'd convert the 5% to a decimal. Which would be 0.05. Then, multiply the original cost (170) by the decimal (0.05). You would get 8.5. Subtract that number from the original cost and you get $161.50 as the final answer.

What is the area of a triangle with a height of 13 cm and a base of a 10 cm?
Alecsey [184]
Area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 b(h) so since you already have the height and base, all you need to do is input it back into the equation:

\frac{1}{2} (10)(13)


Multiply 10 & 13 to equal 

\frac{1}{2} (130)

Then take half of 130 to get

A = 65 cm^{2}
