Equation to find original price if sale price of $429 is a 34% discount

Mathematics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The original price is $650

Step-by-step explanation:

There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.

Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.

Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.

Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.

So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.

Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.

A rectangular billboard is 9.35 meters wide and 6.82 meters tall what is the perimeter of the billboard in meters?
kati45 [8]
-The perimeter is the length of the line if the whole rectangle was straightened out.
-a rectangle has 2 sets of 2 even sides. The top and bottom width would be equal and the two heights would be equal

Armed with these two facts we know the perimeter would be Side A + Side B + Side C + Side D
9.35 + 9.35 + 6.82 + 6.82 = ?

The actual formula for a rectangle or even a square is
2(length + width)

'Quiz: Math Review Quiz
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The tax rate is 4.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to assume $2.79 is 100%. We know that x% equals 0.12 of the output value. Now we have two simple equations: 100%=2.79 and x%=0.12.

Then, 100%/x%=2.27/0.12 and that gives us 4.3%!

Hope this helps.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (1, 1), and is perpendicular to the graph of 3x + 2y
defon

Answer:

2X-3Y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation is 3X +2Y = -7

FIRST BRING THIS IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM

2Y = -3X -7

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2

Y = (-3/2)X -7/2

SLOPE OF GIVEN EQUATION IS -3/2

SLOPE OF LINE PERPENDICULAR TO THIS IS NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL HENCE  SLOPE OF REQUIRED EQUATION IS 2/3

EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE IN POINT SLOPE FORM IS

Y-Y1 = m(X-X1)

Y-1 = (2/3)(X-1)

MULTIPLYING ALL TERMS BY 3

3(Y-1) = 2(X-1)

3Y-3 = 2X -2

2X-2 = 3Y-3

2X-3Y =-3+2

2X-3Y = -1
