Answer:

3/4 times 18= 13.5

31.5-13.5=18  

It cost 18 dollars for the skirt with a discount.

It cost 13.5 for the blouse as opposed to the original price of 18 dollars.

18(skirt)+13.5(blouse)=31.5

If you set up a proportion to find the original price of the skirt you will get the answer.  

18/x=75/100

75x=18 times 100

75x=1800

75x/75=1800/75

x=24  

The original price of the skirt is 24 dollars.

Consider the function g(x) =-3(x-2) 2 + 3 what is the vertex
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The vertex is (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the parent equation for problems like these is y=a(x-h)2 +k. The vertex is found through (h, k) and so with 2 as H and 3 as K, the vertex is (2,3).
