If u r not interested in the explanation jump to the end ***

1. We assume, that the number 53.55 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 53.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 53.55=100%. 
4. We know, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15%. 
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 53.55=100%
2) x=15%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
53.55/x=100%/15%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 15% of 53.55

53.55/x=100/15
(53.55/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
53.55=6.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6666666666667) to get x
53.55/6.6666666666667=x 
8.0325=x 
x=8.0325
*******
now we have: 
15% of 53.55=8.0325.
the total price was 53.55+8.0325=61.5825 the price before the discount
61.5825 - 38 = 23.5825 ~ 23.58

Answer:

£25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount that a discounted purchase cost before the discount was applied.

From the question, we were made to know that 53.55 included the discount. Now if 15% was the price of the discount, this means what she paid was 85% and this is equivalent to the value 53.55

since we do not know the total price before the discount, let’s call that x.

This means that;

85/100 * x = 53.55

85x = 53.55 * 100

85x = 5355

x = 5355/85

x = £63

Now we were made to know that the trainers were priced at £38 before the discount, the price of the watch before the discount is thus £63 - £38 = $25

What is the value of f(-4)?
Ghella [55]

Given is a piecewise function which follows different expressions according the the value of input x.

Given f(x)=\left \{ {{-10, \;if \;x2} } \right.

It says to find f(-4) i.e. the value of function f(x) at x = -4.

At point x = -4, f(x) is x³, if -5 ≤ x ≤ 2.

So, f(-4) = (-4)³

f(-4) = -4 × -4 × -4

f(-4) = -64.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. -64.
