Discount =17%=51 $(given)
Let the price be=x
So formula is
Discount%/100 *actual price =discount (in$)
17/100*x=51
X=51*100/17
X=300$
Hence the price of the watch is 300$

To rephrase the question,
17% of what is $51?

Let me give you a short way or formula.
is/of = %/100

is = 51
0f = x
%= 17%

51/x = 17/100
51*100 = x*17
5100= 17x
5100/17= x

so x = 300

Marlene's taxable income is $95,000. Use this tax schedule to calculate the total amount she owes in taxes. A. 12,88.75 B. 17,90

zheka24 [161]

The answer is C.

Since here taxable income is over $77,100 and below $160,850, her tax is $15,698.75 + [.28*($95,000 - $77,100)].

Tax = $15,698.75 + [.28*($17,900)].
= $15,698.75 + [$5012].
= $20,710.75

The dimensions of a square are altered so that one dimension is increased by 7 feet, while the other is decreased by 2 feet. The

Kamila [148]

Answer:

the original area is 64ft squared or 169ft squared more perdurable 64

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2)(x+7)=90

x^2 +5x -14=90

x^2 +5x -14 -90=90-90

x^2 +5x -104=0

factor it out

(x−8)(x+13)=0

so 8 or -13

Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

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

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
