Hi there!

First we need to realise that the 18% discount equals John's savings. Therefore 18% of the original price is $13.23.

When we know 18% of the price, we can also find 1% of the total price.

18% = $13.23
Divide both sides by 18.

1% = $0.735
To find the total price, which equals 100%, we know only need to multiply both sides by 100.

100% = $73.50.
Therefore, the original price for the coat is $73.50.

~ Hope this helps you!

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$28.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = -2(x - 9)^2 + 100

If the prices (x) = 15 dollars we work out the profit by substituting x = 15 in the above formula:

p(15) = -2(15 - 9)^2 + 100

= -2 * 6^2 + 100

= $28.

I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift and need to increase the amount of customers i help by 20%,

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The number of customer needed to achieve is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of customer per hour = 8

The time taken = 8 hours

The rate of increase = 20 %

Let The increase in number of customer after 20 % increment = x

So , The number of customer after n hours = initial number × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{n}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm 20}{100})^{8}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × 4.2998

∴The number of customer after 8 hours = 34.39 ≈ 34

Hence The number of customer needed to achieve is 34 answer

The answer is E. If you draw the quadrilateral out, you can clearly see what it looks like. And you can know from the coordinates that the diagonal of this quadrilateral is not equal. So it can not be rectangle. And also AB//CD and AD//BC.
