A straight line adds up to 180
So the line opposite of 137 should add up to 180
This gives us the equation 137+x=180 then x=43
The triangle also adds up to 180 degrees
So 102+43+x=180
The equation can be simplified to 145+x=180 therefore x=35
So x+?=180 because it is a straight line.
We can substitute x in making the equation 35+?=180
Now we want to solve for the ? so we'll subtract 35 from each side
This leaves us with the equation ?=145
So we now know that the ?=145
Point D that is the intersection of the the given lines
Hello! So the sweater was marked off by 20% and the sale price is $60. To find the original price of the sweater, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
60/x = 80/100
This is because 60 is a part of the whole (the original price), and even though the price was marked down by 20%, you still pay 80% of that price. Let's cross multiply the values. 60 * 100 is 6,000. 80 * x is 80x. That makes 6,000 = 80x. Now, divide each side by 80 to isolate the x. 80x/80 cancels out. 6,000/80 is 75. Let's check this. 75 * 80% (0.8) is 60. There. x = 75. The regular price of the sweater is $75.
