let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
You paid ..I’m broke so I can’t lol ..in my opinion it can be helpful sometimes because some of the questions don’t get answered or it’s someone just saying “I don’t know
Answer:
I think the solution is (p,q)=(-2,-5)
Approximately 2 gallons will be needed if each gallon of stain and the project will cost be $73.96 if each gallon costs $36.98
<h3>How to find the area of a triangle</h3>
The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as:
A = 0.5bh
where
base = 15feet
height = 20feet
Area of the deck = 20 * 15 * 0.5
Area of the deck is 150 square feet
Number of gallons needed = 350/150 = 2.3
Hence approximately 2 gallons will be needed if each gallon of stain covers a maximum of 350 square feet.
Cost of the two gallons = 36.98 * 2
Cost of the two gallons = $73.96
Hence the project will cost be $73.96 if each gallon costs $36.98

Given 3 sides of a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the third side.
Consider the 3 given sides 1, 7 and 11
7 + 11 = 18 > 1
1 + 11 = 12 > 7
1 + 7 < 11 ⇒ not valid
Hence these sides do not form a triangle
