Answer:
Total height lowered = 75m
No of times balloon lowered = 5
Height lowered in each lowering = Total height lowered / No of times balloon lowered
= 75 / 5
= 15 m
The number indicated that each time balloon is lowered by 15 m
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
83 is a prime
24 = 2³x3
192 = 2⁶x3
256 = 2⁸
