The original price was $50.
To find this we need to start with the price you paid ($28). We then use this cost to find the pre-coupon price. Since the coupon affords a 20% discount, that means you pay for 80%. To solve this, simply divide the price you paid by the percentage you paid.
$28/.80 = $35.
Now that we have the pre-coupon price ($35), we can use that to find the original price. Again, we'd want to divide that by the percentage you paid for, which is 70%.
$35/.70 = $50
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.
The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:
138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)
Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...
x^2 -31x +238 = 0
For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.
For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.
Answer:
8.24 grams/marble
Step-by-step explanation:
Average mass = (total mass)/(number of marbles)
Here, that would be:
824 g
------------------- = 8.24 grams/marble
100 marbles
This question requires creating a few equations and working through them step-by-step. Now, first let's give each of the shapes a variable: let's say that the blue shape is a, the orange shape is b and the green shape is c.
1. We can technically create six formulas for the magic square, with three for sum of the rows and three for the sum of the columns, however the smartest way to approach this is to observe whether there are any obvious answers that we can get.
We can see in row 2 that there are three of the same shape (a) that add to 57. This makes it very simple to calculate the value of the shape.
Since 3a = 57
a = 57/3 = 19
2. Now we need to find a row or column that includes a and one other shape; we could choose either column 2 or 3, so let's go with column 2. Remembering that the blue shape is a and the orange shape is b:
2a + b = 50
Now, given that a = 19:
2(19) + b = 50
38 + b = 50
b = 12
3. We can now take any of the rows or columns that include the third shape (c) since we already know the values of the other two shapes. Let's take column 1:
a + b + c = 38
19 + 12 + c = 38
31 + c = 38
c = 38 - 31
c = 7
Thus, the value of the blue shape is 19, the value of the orange shape is 12 and the value of the green shape is 7.
Answer: A, C, D
If you try plugging in a few different numbers into these equations, you will get only 1 result.
