Answer:

16.065

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 10 percent of 17.85 by dividing 17.85 by 10

10 / 17.85 = 1.785

then you subtract 1.785 by 17.85 to get the original price

Let the letter o represent the original price.

17.85 = o + (o*1.10)
17.85 = 2.10 * o
o = 17.85/2.10=8.5
The original price was $8.50

Answer:

35.6047 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The wiper blade moves in a circular way, where the radius is 30 inches.

To find how far the bug travelled, we just need to use a rule of three, where the length of the circunference relates to a angle of 360 degrees:

360 degrees -> 2 * pi * radius

68 degrees -> distance

distance * 360 = 2 * pi * radius * 68

distance = 2 * pi * 30 * 68 / 360 = 35.6047 inches
