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! :)

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 20 inches wide by 37 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 50% of the canvas.
uysha [10]
The total area is:
 A = (20) * (37)
 A = 740 in ^ 2
 We can make the following rule of three:
 740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
 x --------------> 50%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (50/100) * (740)
 x = 370 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
 
x = 370 in ^ 2

The club's total number of members will grow exponentially each month. She uses the given expression to model the number of club
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1.8 represents the initial number of the club members in hundreds.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the exponential grows

- If a quantity grows by a fixed percent at regular intervals,

 the pattern can be depicted by this function.

- The function of the exponential growth is:

  y = a(1 + r)^x

# a = initial value (the amount before measuring growth)

# r = growth rate (most often represented as a percentage and

  expressed as a decimal)

# x = number of time intervals that have passed

* Now Lets study the problem to solve it

- The club's total number of members will grow exponentially

  each month

- The expression to model the number of club members, in

  hundreds, after advertising for t months is

  1.8(1.02)^12t

* Lets compare between this model and the function above

# a = 1.8 ⇒ initial number of members in hundreds

# r = 1.02 - 1 = 0.02 ⇒ growth rate

# x = 12t ⇒ number of time intervals

* 1.8 represents the initial number of the club members in hundreds.
