Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The unmarked angle of the triangle is also 40o. The triangle is marked with two equal sides (isosceles).
<2 + 40 + 40 = 180 Combine the left
<2 + 80 = 180 Subtract 80 from both sides
<2 = 180 - 80
<2 = 100 degrees.
That's not the answer. We have to solve for x
<2 = x + 106
100 = x + 106 Subtract 106 from both sides
100 - 106 = x
x = - 6
In order to find the original price, we need to divide by 4. This is because the price was reduced by 20%, it is 4/5 of the original price.
By dividing by 4, we can see that 90.40 is 22.60.
To find the original price, we add 22.60 (1/5 of the original price), to 90.40 (4/5 the original price) to find that $113 is the original price.
