Applying a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor
has the effect of multiplying both coordinates of a point by
:

So, in your case, the coordinates of the points double:

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
Answer:
There are 5 factors of 16, which are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

hello!</h3>
In order to solve this inequality, we should divide both sides by 9:-

Why 9? Because x is multiplied by 9, and we need to isolate x in order to find its value.

Hence, that's the solution to the inequality.
<em>It also means that the numbers less than 8 will satisfy the given inequality (make the inequality true)</em>
(Option C is correct :) )
