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.

The product of two number is 1575 and their quotient is 9/2 find the number
Otrada [13]
(1) p x q = 1575
(2) p / q = 9 / 2
divide 1 by 2 to eliminate p:
q^2 = 1575 / (9/2)
q^2 = 350
q = sqrt(350)

Substitue q in either 1 or 2 to find p.

How can you use the sign of the points to determine location? please help and i will give brainliest :D
Vladimir [108]

To determine the location of a point on a graph, the first number of the ordered pair is a x-coordinate which means the first number you would look for would be the horizontal line, or the x-axis. The second number is the y-coordinate which means that you would look on the vertical line, or the y-axis. You would go on the horizontal line first, then from there go up to the y-coordinate and place your point. (I'm sorry if it's long but you can try to shorten it.)

Hope this helped!

Have a nice day!
