Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price: x

x + (7%*x) = 107.

107 is 107% of the original price

107 = 1.07x

Divide by 1.07 on both sides

x = 100

Check:

7% of 100 is 7

100 + 7 = 107

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following could be used to calculate the area of a sector in the circle shown below

lara [203]

Answer:

Therefore the Last option is correct

$\textrm{Area of Sector ACD}=\pi (8\ in)^{2}\times (\frac{42}{360})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = r = 8 in

θ = 42°

To Find:

Area of Sector = ?

Solution:

We know that

$\textrm{Area of Sector}=\pi (Radius)^{2}\times \frac{\theta}{360}$

Substituting the given values in the formula we get

$\textrm{Area of Sector ACD}=\pi (8\ in)^{2}\times (\frac{42}{360})$

Which is the required Answer.

Therefore the Last option is correct

$\textrm{Area of Sector ACD}=\pi (8\ in)^{2}\times (\frac{42}{360})$
