Answer:

$210

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we can do is to add the $25 back on to the total cost.

25 + 115 = 140.

We do this because he Sam used a gift certificate on the ski's that are already 2/3 of the original price.

Now, to find the original price we can use this equation:

\frac{2}{3} x = 140

X represents the original price.

To solve this equation you would flip 2/3 to 3/2 and multiply that by 140, as seen below:

(\frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{3}x = 140 (\frac{3}{2})

Now you can solve:

x = \frac{420}{2} \\x = 210

We can check this answer by multiplying 210 by 2/3

(210)(2/3) = 140

Remember, Sam used a gift certificate for $25

140 - 25 = $115

Therefore, the original price of the skis is $210.

Answer:

  1. 1/3
  2. y-axis
  3. (1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length AC is 3, but the corresponding length FD is 1, so the dilation factor is FD/AC = 1/3.

The reflection is a left/right reflection, so it is across a vertical line. We suspect the only vertical line you are interested in is the y-axis. (It could be reflected across x=1/2, and then the only translation would be downward.)

The above transformations will put C' at (1, 0). Since the corresponding point D is at (2, -2), we know it is C' is translated by (1, -2) to get to D.

  C' + translation = D

  (1, 0) +(1, -2) = (2, -2)
