Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope m = (-8-2)/(1+1)=-10/2 = -5
Perpendicular slope-1/m = -1/-5 = 1/5
Equation of a line with perpendicular slope is
y-y1=(-1/m)(x-x1)
y - 2 = (1/5)(x+1)
y =2 +(1/5)(x+1)
Split 33 into two numbers that when added up are 33.
So 12 to 21, which when divided by 3, are 4 to 7.
