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:
a. the points will be in quadrants q and s
b. the difference between the coordinates of the starting point and the checkpoint is that the starting point is negative on the 5 axis while the checkpoint is positive. the number on the y axis for the staring point and the checkpoint is the same.
Just copy the triangle but on the opposite side I think. Take the coordinates and flip it onto the other side until its a perfect match
Answer: a ticket to the movie costs $8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of a movie ticket.
Let y represent the cost of a Soda.
Janice bought 3 movie tickets and 3 sodas and the total cost was $35.25. This means that
3x + 3y = 35.25 - - - - - - - - - -1
A ticket to the movie cost $5.25 more than a soda. This means that
x = y + 5.25
Substituting x = y + 25 into equation 1, it becomes
3(y + 5.25) + 3y = 35.25
3y + 15.75 + 3y = 35.25
6y = 35.25 - 15.75 = 19.5
y = 19.5/6 = 3.25
x = y + 5.25 = 3.25 + 5.25
x = 8.5
It’s b got it right on edge
