Answer 1

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

35x0.10=3.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$38.89

Step-by-step explanation:

so lets use the discount price formula:

$\frac{n-0}{0}=\frac{-percent}{100}$

where

n=new price(35)

o=original price

percent=(10)(since its a discount problem, percent will be negative)

so lets substitute these values in the equation:

$\frac{35-o}{o}=\frac{-10}{100}$

2) cross multiply:

100(35-o)=-10o

3500-100o=-10o

3500=90o

38.88=o

hence discount price is $38.89(rounded up form 38.8888888889)
