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.

Solve for x..........
-BARSIC- [3]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment NL is twice the length of midsegment WV.

  2WV = NL

  2(x+15) = x+21

  2x +30 = x +21 . . . . simplify

  x = -9 . . . . . . . . . . . . add -30-x

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This value of x means the other segments are ...

  MN = 12

  WV = 6

  NL = 12

Write in equation of the line in the graph
salantis [7]
To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.

m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) 
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3

b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.


Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0 

So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.

A natural number _a rational number.
lora16 [44]
A natural number is a positive integer, example, 1,2,5,299 etc.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of integers, such as 245/127, 1/2, 5/1,8/1,...
Since a natural number can be expressed as a fraction of integers, so 

a natural number IS a rational number.
