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%.

Answer:

(f-g)(x)

f(x)-g(x)

x^{2} -6x-27-x+9

x^{2} -7x-18

----------------------

(f*g)(x)

=f(x)g(x)

(x^{2} -6x-27)(x-9)

=x^{3} -15x^{2}+27x+243

----------------------

\frac{f}{g} (x)

\frac{x^{2} -6x-27}{x-9}

\frac{(x-9)(x+3)}{x-9}

x+3

-----------------------

(f+g)(x)

f(x)+g(x)

=x^{2} -6x-27+x-9

=x^{2} -5x-36

How do I simplify a fraction? For example if the question is 7 1/5 divided by 2 2/15 what would I do to simplify?
Westkost [7]
7 1/5:
Multiply the denominator and the whole number: 7*5 = 35 and then add the numerator: 35+1= 36/5. Then, do this for the following fraction, the improper fraction value of 2 2/15 is 32/15.
Now we need 36/5 & 32/15 to have common denominators so that we can simplify it a little less complicated.

For Instance,

36/5*3= 108/15

Now we divide, (108/15)/(32/15)
108/32= 3.375 = 3 3/8

Answer is 3 3/8.

Hope this was easy to understand!
