Answer:
the original price of the book is $20
Step-by-step explanation:
sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.
<u>Things that are useless:</u>
- his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)
- he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)
<u>Things that are helpful:</u>
- the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)
- the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)
- he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)
Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.
let b be the original book price
we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)
if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)
and so on.
90% of b = 18 (90% of the og. book price equals 18)
90/100 × b = 18 (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)
9/10 × b = 18 (simplify both sides of the equation)
9 × b = 180 (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)
b = 20 (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)
the original price of the book is $20
hope this helped :D
good luck my friend

Our three numbers are...
3 3/10 = 3.3
3.1
3 1/4 = 3.25
So, if we order those from least to greatest, we have...
3.1, 3.25, 3.3
which, in the forms given, is...
3.1, 3-1/4, 3-3/10
Hey hey!
56 would be the answer.
WAIT, don’t leave just yet! You have to show at least some work! You CANT learn if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Here’s how I got the answer:
7:4 walls = 10:8 people =M:40 minutes
M = (7/4) / (10/8) x 40
M = 56 minutes.
If that helped let me know by hitting the thanks button or reply with any help you need.
Have a FABULOUS DAYYY!
Answer:
28.26 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Radius = (1/2) diameter
Radius = (1/2)(9)
Radius = 4.5 in
Circumference = 2πr
Circumference = 2(3.14)(4.5)
Circumference = 28.26 in
If the problem is 6r•s•4rt•10rst, then the answer is 240•r^3•s^2•t^2.
