Answer:

$243.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use algebra here.

Let x = the original price.

Then  1/3 x - 27 = 54

1/3x = 54 + 27 = 81

x = 81 /  1/3

x = 81 * 3

x = $243  (answer).

Answer:

$243

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the original price of the coat.  Then:

(1/3)p - $27 = $54.  Solve for p.  Start by adding $27 to both sides:

(1/3)p = 81.  Next, mult. both sides by 3, to eliminate the fraction 1/3:

p = $243

The original price of the coat was $243.

What is the perimeter of the figure to the nearest tenth of a millimeter?

C because first you would find the circumference of the circle which is pi times diameter, which is 18.84 but since it is a semi-circle you would divide by 2 which is 9.42. Then you do 3+3=6 + the length which is 6 so you get 12. 12+9.42=21.42 and if you round that to the nearest tenth it is 21.42.

lana [24]

Answer: Yes ,because it isn't the same the number since the number of digits aren't the same so you make it the same number of digits by putting 0 in the back so 1.7 turns to 1.700 to make it the same digits of 1.700.
