Answer:

The original price was $312.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If the vacuum was marked down by 20%, that means it was sold for 80% of the full price. It was sold for $250, so 80% of the original price is $250.

Let's set up an equation.

80/100 of x = 250

0.8 • x = 250

Divide both sides by 0.8.

x = 312.50

The original price was $312.50

Hope this helps!

Answer:

I think the answer is 250.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price = x

  Original Price     -     Markdown       =     Sales Price

       x                 -     (20%)x           =         $250

  Note: 20% may be 0.20 or 20/100 as needed by the problem.

       x                -    0.20x                =         $250

      0.80x = $250

           x =   $312.50

Check:

     Is      312.50  -  (0.20)312.50  = 250.00   ?

               (0.80)(312.50) = 250.00   ?

                    250.00 = 250.00   ?yes

Hope this help you! :)

John is going camping, and he needs to buy a tent. The outdoor store has one that cost $90, but it's on sale for 25% off. What i
pochemuha

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Okay so, im not the best at explaining, but so we have a percentage. its 25%. you want to take the 25% and put it over 100 because a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. so it will be written as 25%/100</em>

<em />

<em>divide 25 by 100 and you get 0.25, correct? so that's one step further towards the answer.</em>

<em>then we write x/90 because we don't know (well we do) what we're gonna put. but, we're gonna multiply 0.25 by 90 and we get 22.5, which is equivalent to </em><em>22.50</em><em>.</em>

The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown what is the domain of f(x)
Rom4ik [11]

The domain of a function is where we have a value for x.

Since that's the case the domain of f(x) = {x e R / 1 ≤ x < 5}

We see that we have a value for x = 1 cuz we have a filled circle, but we don't have a value for x = 5, look at the unfilled circle

So, our x can vary between 1 and 5, but can't be 5.

This recipe makes a cake big enough to serve 4 people.
nignag [31]

Answer:

He can make a cake that serves 24 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gareth has 13 eggs, but only 2 are needed for 4 servings. 13 divided by 2 equals 6.5. We can't serve half of a person, so there will be a large cake equivalent to the size of 6 small cakes. Since 1 small cake serves 4 people, and Gareth's large cake is 6 times the size of a small cake, Gareth's cake can serve a total of 24 people. Now that is one big cake!
