<h3>Answer:  50 dollars</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = original price

y = sale price

d = discount = amount saved

d = 12% of x = 0.12x

y = x - d = x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Note how 0.88 = 88%, and this represents the percentage you have to pay if you get 12% off.

We're told the sale price is y = 44, so this leads to...

y = 0.88x

44 = 0.88x

0.88x = 44

x = 44/0.88

x = 50

The original price was $50

---------------------

Check:

If the original price was $50, then the amount you save is 0.12*50 = 6 dollars, which is the discount.

The sale price is 50-6 = 44 dollars which matches up with what your teacher gave you. The answer is confirmed.

Answer:

4448 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula A = 2((l)x(w) + (l)x(h) + (w)x(h)) we can take the length, width and height and plug them in. A = 2(44x21 + 44x20 + 21x20), solving this equation we get 4448 feet^{2}.

an average ant is 1/4 of an inch long. an average aphid is 3/32 of an inch long. how many times longer is the ant than the aphid
Nataly_w [17]
First find the common denominator.  In this case, you would want to use 32.  So, 1/4 = 8/32.  So, an ant is 8/32 of an inch and an aphid is 3/32 of an inch.  Now to find the difference, you subract.  8/32 - 3/32 = 5/32.  So the answer is, the ant is 5/32 of an inch longer.
