Let the original price be x . And the stores are offereing 20% discount. It means , we need to pay only 80 percent.

And it is given that the discount prices is 16.80. That is

0.8x = 16.80

Now we need to get rid of 0.8.

And for that, we divide both sides by0.8,

x =21

So the original price is $21 .

Hello!

So if the discount is 20%, then 80% of the original price is left as the discounted price. (already stated in question)

So what you want to do, is take 80%, or 4/5, and take x as well. Set x equal to the original store price, and as we'll be taking 20% off, it'll become 4/5x, or 80% of x. Set 4/5x equal to 16.8.

Now, to solve, just divide both sides by 4/5 to isolate the x.
4/5x / (4/5) = 16.8 / (4/5)
I would set the divided by 4/5 part on the right hand side of the equation into multiplied by 5/4, as any division by a fraction can be set to multiplying by that fraction's reciprocal.

x = 16.8 • 5/4

Cancel out the denominator of 5/4 by dividing 16.8 by 4:
x = 4.2 • 5

Now multiply:

x = 21

You get your answer, of the original price being $21.

A company manufactures cell phones. In August, a random sample of 125 cell phones was inspected, and 3 phones were found to be d
german

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many phones are expected to be defective, we need to represent the values in a fraction.

\dfrac{x}{8000}=\dfrac{3}{125}

x = number of defective phones

Now we can solve this using algebra.

To get the value of x we need to multiply both sides by 8000 to leave x alone.

x=\dfrac{3}{125}(8000)

x=0.024(8000)

x=192

So around 192 cell phones are expected to be defective out of 8000 phones.

A histogram is an image of data that resembles a bar graph and groups several categories into columns along the horizontal x-axis. The numerical count or percentage of occurrences for each column in the data are shown on the vertical y-axis. To see how data distribution patterns look, utilize columns.

(a) Use classes with a 2 minute width and a 14 minute starting point to create a histogram of the journey times. Thus, the first lesson lasts between 14 and 16 minutes.

Describe the distribution's shape. What is the average journey time interval?

If a histogram has a bell shape, its center and spread can be used to parsimoniously characterize it. The axis of symmetry is located at the middle. The spread is the separation between the center and a particular point of inflection. The inflection points of the bell-shaped histogram are indicated here.
