Answer:

<u>The original price of the coat was £ 275</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Sale price of the coat = £ 220

Discount from the original price = 20%

2. Let's find the original price of the coat

Original price of the coat = x

Sale price of the coat = £ 220

Sale price of the coat = x - 20%x

220 = x - 0.2x

220 = x - 2x/10 (0.2 = 2/10)

2,200 = 10x -2x (Multiplying by 10 at both sides)

2,200 = 8x

2.200/8 = 8x/8 (Dividing by 8 at both sides)

275 = x

<u>The original price of the coat was £ 275</u>

Which of these graphs represents a function?
Vlad1618 [11]
The answer is X.
In order for it to be a function, there should be only one y-value for every x-value. Graph x is the only one that obeys this rule, therefore it is the answer

Solve the following problems mentally and match it to its corresponding solution.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

<h3>1. t=10</h3><h3>2. t=4</h3><h3>3. t=40</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of t from one side of the equation.

<h3>1. 4t=40</h3>

First, you have to divide by 4 from both sides.

4t/4=40/4

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

40/4=10

<h3><u>t=10</u></h3>

<h3>2. 10+t=14</h3>

<u>First, change sides.</u>

t+10=14

<u>Then, subtract by 10 from both sides.</u>

t+10-10=14-10

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Subtract the numbers from left to right.</u>

14-10=4

<h3><u>t=4</u></h3>

<h3>3. 70-t=30</h3>

First, subtract by 70 from both sides.

70-t-70=30-70

Solve.

30-70=-40

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

-t=-40

Divide by -1 from both sides.

-t/-1=-40/-1

<u>Solve.</u>

<u />

<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>

-40/-1=40

<h3><u>t=40</u></h3>

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is t=10, t=4, and t=40.</u>

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

What is the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius 15?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle centred at the origin is

x² + y² = r² ( where r is the radius )

Here r = 15, thus

x² + y² = 15² , that is

x² + y² = 225 → D

Identify the initial amount a and the growth or decay factor b in the exponential function. y = 0.01025^x
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The initial amount a = 1

The growth or decay factor  = 0.01025

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function.

y = 0.01025^x

The initial amount a = 1

The growth or decay factor  = 0.01025

The exponential equation can be rewritten as Y = 1(0.01025)^x
