Answer:

<em>The sale price of the washing machine is £207.50.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages </u>

To find a percentage of a given number, the procedure is multiplying the percentage by the number and divide by 100.

Suppose the normal price of the washing machine was x before the discount. The discount is:

17% of x = 17/100 * x = 0.17x

This discount is given as £42.50, thus:

0.17x = £42.50

Solving:

x = £42.50/0.17

x = £250

The sale price is:

£250 - £42.50 = £207.50

The sale price of the washing machine is £207.50.

Answer:

The shaded area is $23\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shaded area is equal to the area of the large square minus the area of the two smaller squares

$A=6^{2} -(3^{2} +2^{2})\\ \\ A=(2*3)^{2} -(3^{2} +2^{2})\\ \\A=(2^{2})(3^{2}) -(3^{2} +2^{2})$

Calculate the shaded area

Remember that

$3^{2}=9\\ 2^{2}=4$

substitute

$A=(4)(9) -(9 +4)\\ \\A=36-13\\ \\A=23\ in^{2}$
