<h3>Answer:</h3>

$200

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let p represent the price last year. Then the price this year is ...

... (price this year) = p + 15%×p

... = p + 15/100×p = 1.15p

The price after the employee discount is ...

... (price this year) - 25%×(price this year)

... = (price this year)×(1 - 25/100) = 0.75×(price this year)

Then the price paid is ...

... $172.50 = 0.75×(1.15p) = 0.8625p

Dividing by the coefficient of p, we have

... $172.50/0.8625 = p = $200

The price last year was $200.

The net of a square pyramid is shown
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a square pyramid is determined from the formula,

Surface area = Area of the square base + 4(Area of one lateral triangular side)

Area of the base = (Side)²

                            = 8²

                            = 64 cm²

Area of one lateral triangle = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

                                             = \frac{1}{2}(8)(8)

                                             = 32 cm²

Therefore, surface area of the square pyramid = 64 + 4(32)

                                                                              = 64 + 128

                                                                              = 192 cm²

Therefore, Option (D) will be the correct option.
