Answer:

Ok, so the discount is given in a percentage, in this case 10%.  The sale price is going to reflect 10% of the original price minus the discount, so...

Sale $ = original$ - original $ x .10

If we use some algebra, we can reorganize the equation to solve for the original price...

Sale $ = original$ - original $ x .10

Sale $ = original$ (1 - .10)

Sale $ = original$ x .90

original$ = sale$/.90

So now we can plug in our values

original price = 50/.90

original price = 55.55555 = $55.55 to the nearest nickel

Samara is adjusting a satellite because she finds it is not focusing the income radio waves perfectly. The shape of her satellit
gogolik [260]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(6, 3)}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The conic form of the equation for a sideways parabola is

(y - k)² = 4p(x - h)

The focus is at (h + p, k)

The equation of Samara's parabola is

(y - 3)² = 8(x - 4)

h = 4

p = 8/4 = 2

k = 3

h + p = 6

So, the focus point of the satellite dish is at

\boxed{\textbf{(6, 3)}}
