Answer:

$260

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual price + 8% of actual price=$280.80

Let x= actual price

8% of actual price=8/100 of x

=0.08x

x + 0.08x=$280.80

1.08x=$280.80

x=$280.80/1.08

x=$260

Price of the jacket before sales tax=$260

Check:

8% sales tax of $260

=8% of $260

=8/100×$260

=0.08×$260

=$20.8

Purchasing price= actual price+ sales tax

=$260+$20.8

=$280.80

What is the size of angle c?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

55°

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 180 - 80 = 100

100 + 130 + 90 + (180 - 85) + (180 - c)

= 540

595 - c = 540

c = 595 - 540

c = 55°
