Answer:

The original price is $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 40% = 60%

$\frac{54}{y} :\frac{60}{100}$

y × 60 = 54 × 100

60y = 5400

60y ÷ 60 = 5400 ÷ 60

y = 90

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discount is 40%, we are still paying 100-40% or 60 %

original price * 60% = sale price

original price * .6 = 54

Divide each side by .6

original price = 54/.6

original price =90

You're trying to find constants $a_0,a_1,a_2$ such that $\hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2$ . Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

$\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}$

To solve $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ , multiply both sides by the transpose of $\mathbf A$ , which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

$\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$

Computing this, you'd find that

$\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}$

which means the first choice is correct.
