P-1=8p-8
Add 1 to both sides
p=8p-7
Subtract 8p from both sides
-7p=-7
Divide by -7
p=1

The ends of a pipe when measured with a tape measure that has marks every millimeter are exactly at the 0 mark and the 15 meter

exis [7]

If the ends span from the 0 to the 15 meter mark, then the length of the pipe is 15 meters. However, you should report it using the right amount of significant figures. It is mentioned in the problem that millimeter marks are calibrated between meters. Since millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, you should add three decimal places to the 15 meters. Hence, you should report it as 15.000 meters.

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.

20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.

$\frac{80}{100} =\frac{328}{y}$
