Answer: $200

Explanation:

The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.

If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.

So, employee pays =  

100

75

⋅

172.50

= $230.00.

Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100

is sold by $(100+15) = $115.

When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,

when sell price is $230, then cost price is  

100

115

⋅

230

= $200.

goldenfox [79]

For this problem, you're going to need to use trig. More specifically, you need to use the tangent function:

tan (value) = opposite/adjacent

tan 75 = opposite/8 (Here, the opposite side is the length of the ladder)

8 * tan 75 = opposite

29.8564065 = opposite

So, the ladder is 29.9 feet.

yan [13]
Hey there!

When we multiply fractions and whole numbers, we simply take that whole number and put it over them, and just multiply across. That gives us:

\frac{1}{2}x*8 = \frac{8}{2} = 4

Notice how it's four, because when we have a fraction, we divide. 8 divided by 2 equals four. Next:

\frac{1}{4} *4 = \frac{4}{4} = 1

4/4 is equal to 1 because 4 divided by 4 is one. 4 goes into 4 once. Next, we have:

\frac{1}{3}*6 = \frac{6}{3} = 2

That's because 6/3 = 2.

Hope this helps!
