Let x be the total price. And you paid 75% of it which is $135.

x * 75/100 = 135
x = 180
You would have paid $180 if you had not used coupons.

Answer:

$r \: = \: \boxed{ \bold{\frac{2}{3} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the ratio of the progression by dividing a term of it by the immediately preceding one.

$r \: = \: \frac{36}{54} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{24}{36} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{16}{24}$

We simplify the fractions:

$r \: = \: \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{2}{3}$

Since the ratio is the same, that is the common ratio.

Answer:

Brett is 62 years old, Carl is 70 years old and Mark is 80 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Brett be <em>x</em> years.

thus the age of Mark is <em>(x+18)</em> years .

{as it is given that Brett is 18 years younger than Mark}

∴ Age of Carl is <em>(x+8) </em>years .

Now the sum of ages,

3x+26=212 (given)

3x=186

∴x=62

thus , the age of Brett is 62 years , the age of mark is <em>(x+18)</em>= 80 years and the age of Carl is <em>(x+8)</em>= 70 years
