Answer:

$29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the discount price is 25 and the original is unknown so call it x. The sale is 15% off and that means that the jeans are 85% of what they used to be since 100-15 is 85. Then you plug it into a formula of 25/x = 85/100 then you cross multiply to get 2500=85x and when you solve for x and round you get $29.41

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 times 5 because there are 5 types in total and they make 4 of each type in each batch they bake. 4*5 is 20.

2. 20 times 10 because they make 10 batches and you know there are 20 in each batch. so 20 times 10 is 200.

200 is the answer.
