Remark
Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.
He gets 80% in the second instance.
He gets 90% in the third instance
His total income is 240 dollars.
Let the original price be x
Equation
70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240
70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9
Solution
0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.
x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240
2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4
x = 240/2.4
x = 100
So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.
He only brought in 240 dollars.
He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.
The answer is B.
16x² - 8x + 1 = (4x)² - 2 · 4x · 1 + 1² =(4x - 1)²
Used: (a - b)² = a² -2ab + b²
Answer:
A
Step-by-step:
a^2+ b^2 = c^2
if we try A
6^2+8^2 = 10^2 => 64+36 = 100
Answer:
4x^11+x^7+3x^3-5x+9
Its highest to lower based on the exponential number
our exponential numbers are: 3, 1, 7,0,11 putting those from highest to lowers would put them: 4x^11+x^7+3x^3-5x+9
