Answer:

1987.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount in the choir using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other. Since we know the strength of students increased by 8% to 2160 then the original was 92%.

$\frac{92}{100}=\frac{y}{2160}$

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

92(2160)=100(y)

198720=100y

y=1987.2

There are 1987.2 as the original strength of students.

Answer:

Final price = $2034

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Marked price = $2000

Tax = 13%

Discount = 10%

To find the final sales price;

First of all, we would calculate the discount price

Discount price = 10/100 * 2000

Discount price = 20 * 10 = $200

New Price = marked price - discount price

New Price = 2000 - 200 = 1800

Next, we calculate the tax on the product;

Tax = 13/100 * 1800

Tax = 0.13 * 1800

Tax = $234

Finally, we would determine the final price;

Final price = marked price + Tax

Final price = 1800 + 234

Final price = $2034
