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.

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

It would be 28 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle, we simply need to pick two sides. We'll use the opposite side (24) and the adjacent side (45). Using these two, we can find the answer with the Tan function.

Tanα = Opp/Adj

Tanα = 24/45

Tanα = .53333

Tan-1α = .53333

α = 28 degrees
