Answer: $372

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original retail price be 'x'

Therefore, using the give information, we can form the following equation:

50/100x = 186

Now, solve for x

50/100x = 186

1/2x = 186

x = 186 * 2

x = 372

The original retail price is $372.

Check:

50/100(372) = 186

1/2(372) = 186

186 = 186

If the measure of an angle is 78 less than the measure of its compliment, what is the measure of the angle?

aliina [53]

Complementary angles add up to 90'
So let X= angle 1
Y=angle 2
So x+y=90
let x=y-78
so(y-78)+y=90
y-78+y=90
2y-78=90
2y=90+78
2y=168
y=168/2
y=84
x=y-78
so x=84-78
x=6
And 6+84=90
So the measure of the angle is 6 degrees.

(4,2);slope=3<br><br>help me out

ivolga24 [154]

We have a point and a slope, so let's use the point slope formula!

$(y - y1) = m(x - x1)$
where
x1=4
y1=2
and m=3

$(y - 2) = 3(x - 4) \\ y - 2 = 3x - 12 \\ y = 3x - 10$

42 is 96% of what number?

Law Incorporation [45]

Let, the number = x
It would be: x * 96% = 42
x * 0.96 = 42
x = 42 / 0.96
x = 43.75

In short, Your Answer would be 43.75

Hope this helps!
