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 :))

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as $\frac{bh}{2}$ .

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value $2b$ in as $h$ in the expression, making it $\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}$ . If the area is 16, we can make the equation

$\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16$

Now to solve for b.

$\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4$

Hope this helped!
