Discounted price = 24
discount rate = 20%

When an object is sold at a discount.
You can simply multiply the original price by the discount rate to get the value of the discount.

 Original Price * Discount Rate = Value of the discount

Then, you subtract the value of the discount from the Original price to get the discount price

Original Price - Value of the discount = discounted price

Remember: The discount price can also be arrived at by multiplying the Original price with the difference of 100% and the discount rate, in its decimal form.

Original price * (100%-discount rate)/100 = Discount Price

Using the latest formula, we can compute for the original price by dividing the discount price by the difference of 100% and the discount rate, in its decimal form.

Original Price = Discount Price / (100%-discount rate)/100

Original Price = 24 / (100%-20%)/100
                       = 24 / 0.80
Original Price = 30

Discount Value = 30 * 20%/100%
                          = 30 * 0.20
Discount Value = 6

Discount Price = 30 - 6
Discount Price = 24

6: Abby is making a decoration. When folded, the decoration is a triangular pyramid made of four congruent equilateral triangles
NeTakaya

Answer:

85 square inches  

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question missed key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the orginal one. Please have a look at the attached photo

My answer:

From the question, four congruent equilateral triangles with the following information:

  • The height: 6.06 inches
  • The base : 7 inches

=> The area of the quilateral triangle is:

=1/2*the base*the height

= 1/2*60.6*7

= 21.21 square inches

=> the surface area of Abby's decoration is:

= 4 * The area of the quilateral triangle

= 4*21.21

= 84.84 square inches  

≈ 85 square inches  

Hope it will find you well.
