Answer:
$222.73


Explanation:
The multiplier would be 1.1 as (100% plus 10% as a decimal) and $245 is 110% and we want 100%. So 245 divided by 110 is 2.227 which would be 1%. But we want 100% so 2.227 x 100 is $222.73 (1 decimal place).

Answer:  $222.73

===========================================

Work Shown:

x = pre-GST price

10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount

x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245

1.10x = 245

x = 245/1.10

x = 222.7272 approximately

x = 222.73 is the price before tax.

------------

Check:

10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27

The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get

22.27+222.73 = 245

which matches the post-GST price mentioned.

The answer is confirmed.

Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this

1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245

How do you do number 1?<br>Whenever I tried to answer it, I always get fraction. help me.​
Flura [38]

Answer:

The pairs are (13,15) and (-15,-13).

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is an odd integer, the very next odd integer will be n+2.

n+1 is even (so we aren't using this number)

The sum of the squares of (n) and (n+2) is 394.

This means

(n)^2+(n+2)^2=394

n^2+(n+2)(n+2)=394

n^2+n^2+4n+4=394               since (a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

Combine like terms:

2n^2+4n+4=394

Subtract 394 on both sides:

2n^2+4n-390=0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2+2n-195=0

Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -195 and add up to be 2.

15 and -13 since 15(-13)=-195 and 15+(-13)=2

So the factored form is

(n+15)(n-13)=0

This means we have n+15=0 and n-13=0 to solve.

n+15=0

Subtract 15 on both sides:

n=-15

n-13=0

Add 13 on both sides:

n=13

So if n=13 , then n+2=15.

If n=-15, then n+2=-13.

Let's check both results

(n,n+2)=(13,15)

13^2+15^2=169+225=394.  So (13,15) looks good!

(n,n+2)=(-15,-13)

(-15)^2+(-13)^2=225+169=394.  So (-15,-13) looks good!

The answer is C, when numbers or variables are between "|" (also called bars) it means to remove any negative symbols and think of it as a positive number. If the number is already positive you keep it a positive number.
