The price of fan was 20 Dollars 55 cents last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The price last week = x

As the price is 27% lower than last week, therefore

(100%-27%) * Price last week = $15

73% * x = 15

Solving the percentage;

$\frac{73}{100}*x=15\\ Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 100\\100*\frac{73x}{100} = 15*100\\73x=1500\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 73\\\frac{73x}{73} = \frac{1500}{73} \\x= 20.55$

The price of fan was 20 Dollars 55 cents last week.

PLEASE HELP <br>If BC DA, then which segment is the shortest side?

NeX [460]

The length of the shortest side is DC

<h3>How to determine the shortest side?</h3>

As a general rule in triangle;

The smallest angle in a triangle is opposite the shortest side.

Similarly, the largest angle in a triangle is opposite the largest side.

From the given figure of triangles, the smallest angle is angle CBD with a measure of 47 degrees.

The side opposite this angle is side length DC

Hence, the length of the shortest side is DC

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The vertex form of an an equation of a quadratic function:}\\\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\(h,\ k)-vertex\\\\\text{We have}\ g(x)=(x-h)^2+k,\ \text{and the vertex in}\ (9,\ 8).\\\\\text{Therefore}\ h=9\ \text{and}\ k=8.\ \text{substitute:}\\\\g(x)=(x-9)^2+8$
