Answer: $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the refrigerator be represented by y.

We are told that an appliance store reduced the price of a refrigerator by 20%. This will be:

= y - (20% of y)

= y - (20/100 × y)

= y - (0.2 × y)

= y - 0.2y

= 0.8y

We are then told that the store then raised the prices by 10% from the lower price. This will be:

= 0.8y + (10% of 0.8y)

= 0.8y + (0.1 × 0.8y)

= 0.8y + 0.08y

= 0.88y

Since we told that now the price was $70.49, this means that we have to find the value of y using the above expression. This will be:

0.88y = $70.49

y = $70.49/0.88

y = $80.10

y = $80 approximately

The original price of the refrigerator is $80.

How do you find the cube root
zvonat [6]
Use a calculator to find the cube root of positive or negative numbers. Given a number x<span>, the cube root of </span>x<span> is a number </span>a<span> such that </span><span>a3 = x</span><span>. If </span>x<span> positive </span>a<span> will be positive, if </span>x<span> is negative </span>a<span> will be negative. Cube roots is a specialized form of our common </span>radicals calculator<span>.

</span>Example Cube Roots:<span>The 3rd root of 64, or 64 radical 3, or the cube root of 64 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \).The 3rd root of -64, or -64 radical 3, or the cube root of -64 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{-64} = -4 \).The cube root of 8 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{8} = 2 \).The cube root of 10 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{10} = 2.154435 \).</span>

The cube root of x is the same as x raised to the 1/3 power. Written as \( \sqrt[3]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{3}} \). The common definition of the cube root of a negative number is that <span>
(-x)1/3</span> = <span>-(x1/3)</span>.[1] For example:

<span>The cube root of -27 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{-27} = -3 \).The cube root of -8 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{-8} = -2 \).The cube root of -64 is written as \( \sqrt[3]{-64} = -4 \).</span><span>

</span>This was not copied from a website or someone else. This was from my last year report.
