Answer:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

= $33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

We are told that:

The sale price is 20% off the original price.

Original price = $42

Hence:

$42 × 20%

$42 × 20/100

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

The new price =

0riginal price - Amount off the original price

= $42 - $8.4

= $33.6

The original price = $33.6

vfiekz [6]
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.

Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence 
10 gallons of gasoline sold =  $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.
