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.

Which is equivalent to √3/√8 when denominator is "rationalized"?
TEA [102]

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt8}=\dfrac{\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt2}{\sqrt8\cdot\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3\cdot2}}{\sqrt{8\cdot2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt6}{\sqrt{16}}=\dfrac{\sqrt6}{4}

<h3>Used:</h3>

\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \wedge\ b\geq0\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff b^2=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \wedge\ b\geq0\\\\\sqrt{16}=4\ \text{because}\ 4^2=16

N aumentado en un 25%
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

1.25 * N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to increase N by 25%.

The first thing is to say how the percentage works in these cases, N would be our 100% and the increase would be 25% in this case, therefore, the initial value must be added (that is, N, 100%) and to that if add 25% of the initial value (that is, + 25% N).

Thus:

100% * N + 25% * N = N * (100% + 25%)

N * (125%) = 1.25 * N

So to increase N is 25% it would be 1.25 * N
