Answer:

It wasn't allowing me to chat so I was just going to say that you are right, the person that answered! I checked on my quiz and it was correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

marked down by 1/4 of the original price.

let x represent original price

original price - 1/4 of original price = sales price

x - 1/4x = 128

4/4x - 1/4x = 128

3/4x = 128

x = 128/(3/4)

x = 128 * 4/3

x = 512/3

x = 170.666 rounds to 170.67 <== original price

==============================

I hope I am understanding this one correctly...

let x = price the store paid

x + 1/2x = 170.67

2/2x + 1/2x = 170.67

3/2x = 170.67

x = 170.67 / (3/2)

x = 170.67 * 2/3

x = 341.34/3

x = 113.78 <=== what the store paid

===========================

the difference between the discount price..I am assuming this is the $ 128 from part A.....and what the store paid....113.78...from part B..

128 - 113.78 = $ 14.22 <==

I am not completely sure about B and C......B confused me.....and if B is wrong, so is C.
