Answer:

The answer is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use formula: 162...120% since the price was increased by 20% which means it is 120%

So: 162...120%

x.... 100%

120x = 16200 => x = 135

Max is scuba diving at elevation of -64.5 feet, when friend signals to come higher. Max makes 2 ascents, each an equal distance

KengaRu [80]

Answer: - 42.95 feet

Explanation:

Let each ascent be x. Thus,

2 equal ascents = 2x

From the information given,

initial position = - 64.5 feet

Final position after 2 ascents = - 21.4 feet

This means that

- 64.5 + 2x = - 21.4

2x = - 21.4 + 64.5

2x = 43.1

x = 43.1/2

x = 21.55

Thus, Max's elevation after the first ascent is

- 64.5 + 21.55

= - 42.95 feet
