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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Burka [1]2 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.

Complete the square to rewrite y = x^2 + 6x + 3 in vertex form. Then state whether the vertex is a maximum or a minimum and give
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Let's complete the square first.

y = x² + 6x + 3

  = (x² + 6x + 9) - 6

  = (x + 3)² - 6

Therefore, the vertex is (-3, -6) and since the coefficient of (x + 3)² is positive, the vertex is a minimum.

2(7x-9)=5(x+3)<br> Solve for x
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

x = 3.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both expressions

14x - 18 = 5x + 15

Subtract the bigger (n)x by the smaller

14x - 5x = 9x

Plus the smallest by itself, giving you:

9x - 18 = 15

     +18   +18

9x = 33

Simplify ( divided by 3 )

3x = 11

x = 3.67

angle 0 is in quadrant 1 with sin0 = 2/5. Use the Pythagorean identity, sin^2 0 + cos^2 0 = 1, to calculate the value of cos0 as
Gwar [14]
We know that
sin²x+cos²x=1
so 
clear cos x
cos x=(+/-)√[1-sin²x]

in this problem
<span>Angle 0 is in quadrant 1 -----> cos o and sin o are positive
</span>sin o=2/5
cos x=√[1-(2/5)²]----> cos o=√[1-4/25]----> cos o=√[21/25]---> cos o=√21/5

the answer is
cos o=√21/5
