Answer:
1.575
Step-by-step explanation:
To find what the value of the digit 8 is, we can start by moving from the right. In a number, the place value goes (from right to left) ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions and so on. Now we can find out what each of the numbers is.
Since 3 is the first, that means 3 is in the ones place.
Since 9 is second, that means that 9 is in the tens place.
Since 2 is third, that means that 2 is in the hundreds place.
Since 6 is fourth, that means that 6 is in the thousands place.
Now, we have 8. Since 8 is fifth, that means that 8 is in the ten-thousands place. But that's not the value of the eight. The value of the 8 would be it's place value (10,000) times 8. 10,000 * 8 = 80,000, so the value of the digit 8 in the number 686293 is 80,000.
Answer:
The original price is $650
Step-by-step explanation:
There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.
Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.
Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.
Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.
So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.
Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.
