Answer:

The original price of the item is $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be 'x'.

The sale price of an item is $160 after a 20% discount.

i.e. original price - 20% of original price = $160

x-20/100x=160

x-0.2x=160

0.8x=160

x=160/0.8

x=200

Therefore, the original price of the item is $200.

hope this helped :))

In the year 2003, a company made $6.8 million in profit. For each consecutive year after that, their profit increased by 13%. Ho
LenKa [72]

Answer:

$7.7 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $6.8 million profit made by company.

           13% increase in profit every year.

Now, finding the company´s profit in the year of 2006.

As we know there is 13% increase in profit.

∴ Profit increase= \frac{13}{100} \times 6.8= \$ 0.884

Next adding company´s profit with increase in profit to get profit in the year 2006.

∴ 6.8+0.884= \$ 7.684 ≅ $7.7

The company´s profit in the year 2006 is $7.7 million.

A jeweler is making a triangular pendant. He has two sides of length 23 mm and 31 mm. What are the
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

38.60mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

We are given that the dimension of the triangles are length 23 mm and 31 mm

Let us assume that the triangle is a right angle triangle

Step two:

Applying the Pythagoras theorem we can find the third as

z^2= x^2+y^2\\\\z^2= 31^2+23^2\\\\z^2= 961+529\\\\z^2= 1490\\\\

square both sides

z= √ 1490

z= 38.60mm

Hence a possible dimension of the third side is 38.60mm

Find the 73rd term of the arithmetic sequence -28, -41, -54, ...
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the 73rd term of the arithmetic sequence is -964.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference in this arithmetic sequence is 13.  This is obtained by subtracting 28 from 41.  The first term is a(1) = -28.

The arithmetic sequence formula is a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1), where d is the common difference and -28 the first term.

Then, in this case, a(n) = -28 - 13(n - 1), and

a(73) = -28 - 13(73 - 1) = -964

A plane at an altitude of 7000 feet is flying in the direction of an island. If the angle of elevation is 21 degrees from the pl
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

6,535.06 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is right angles

hypotenuse = 7000feet

angle of elevation = 21 degrees

Required

horizontal distance (adjacent)

Using SOH, CAH TOA trig identity

cos theta = adj/hyp

cos 21 =  adj/7000

adj = 7000 cos 21

adj = 7000(0.9336)

adj =  6,535.06

Hence the HORIZONTAL distance until the plane flies over the island is 6,535.06 feet

batteries which normally sell for $1.89 a pack are on sale for $3.40 for two packs. approximately what percentage markdown does
aev [14]
Normally, two packs of batteries cost $1.89*2=$3.78.  The discounted price of $3.40 divided by the standard price of $3.78 for two packs is approximately .9, or 90 percent.  Therefore, we have an approximately ten percent discount with the sale.
