Answer:

$75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the percentage decrease

= 100-18

= 82%

Therefore the original cost of the shirt before the discount can be calculated as follows

= 82/100 × x = 61.91

= 82x/100= 61.91

Cross multiply

82x= 100×61.91

82x= 6191

x = 6191/82

= 75.5

Hencd the original cost of the shirt is $75.5

Which calculation can be used to find the value of y in the equation y3 = 27

zalisa [80]

You just divide each side of the equation by three so you'll get $y = 9$

Edit: I believe you wrote the equation wrongly. If it was $y^3 = 27$ , then you cubic root both sides and get $y = 3$ .

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

x= 1/4 +(-1/4) √65 or x= 1/4 + 1/4 √65

Step-by-step explanation:

x= −b±√b2−4ac /2a

x= −(1)±√(1)2−4(−2)(8) /2(−2)

x= −1±√65 /−4

x= 1/4 +(-1/4) √65 or x= 1/4 + 1/4 √65
