Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

So we first subtract 25% from 100% so we can see what percent 15 is:

100 - 25 = 75 so 15 is 75% of ___:

This gives us a standard percentage problem, so:

75% = 0.75

we can rewrite the equation as a one-step equation:

15 = 0.75a

Dividing both sides by 0.75 and swapping sides gives

a = 15 ÷ 0.75 = 20

So the original price of the hat was $20

OR

because 25% is 1/4, and 75% is 3/4 and 15 is therefore 3/4:

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have  the  points (4, 14), (22, 6), and (16, 18).

It is important to remember that he first number of each point is the x-coordinate of that point and the second number of each one of them is the y-coordinate of that point.

Therefore, knowing the above, you can mark each point, as you can observe in the image attached, and then you can connect the points to form the triangle shown in the image.

A landscape architect wished to enclose a rectangular garden on one side by a brick wall costing $20/ft and on the other three s
Varvara68 [4.7K]
To minimize the cost, you would want the side with the brick wall to be as small as possible. as you provided no restraints to the size, a garden which is 1 foot wide by 22 feet long would be most cost effective, with 22 feet times 2 sides equaling 44 feet in total, plus one foot for the back wall. With a total of 45 feet of fence costing $450, and 1 foot of brick which will cost $20, the total cost would be $470.
