Answer:

  • original cost: $195.00
  • % discount: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

I wouldn't mess with trying to set up proportions. That seems an inappropriate tool for this. Instead, make use of the known relationships between the various prices:

  original cost - discount amount = discounted price

Adding the discounted amount to both sides of this equation gives ...

  original cost = discounted price + discount amount

  original cost = $163.80 + 31.20

  original cost = $195.00

_____

The percentage discount is ...

  percent discount = (discount amount)/(original cost) × 100%

  = $31.20/$195.00 × 100%

  = 16%

The percentage discount is 16%.

Use the distance formula to find the distance, to the nearest tenth, from S(7, −1) to V(−1, 3).
34kurt

Answer:  8.9 units (choice C)

Explanation:

We plug (x_1,y_1) = (7,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (-1,3)\\\\ into the distance formula to get the following

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7-(-1))^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7+1)^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{64 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{80}\\\\d \approx 8.94427\\\\d \approx 8.9\\\\
