Let's let x equal the original price of the dress.
We know that 16.6666% is equal to 0.16666 in decimal form by dividing the percent by 100.
So we can set up the equation:
because we know the discount, and we know that the discount of the original price was subtracted from the original price.
So then let's simplify by taking out x, the common factor:
Then solve for x:
So now we know that the original price of the dress was $39.
This question is Incomplete because it lacks the appropriate diagram for the square pyramid. Please kindly find attached the required diagram
Answer:
45 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that the foil covers the body of the trophy including the bottom, hence the formula we would be applying =
Total Surface Area of the Square pyramid = 2bs + b²
Where s = Height of the square pyramid
b = Edge length of the square pyramid
From the attached diagram, we can see that:
s = 6 inches
b = 3 inches
Total Surface Area of the Square pyramid = 2bs + b²
= 2 × 3 × 6 + 3²
= 36 + 9
= 45 square inches.
Therefore, the amount of gold foil it took to cover the trophy, including the bottom is 45 square inches
