Answer:

$787.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the bicycle be $x.

If the original price was first discounted by 50% and then discounted an additional 10%, the total percentage discount will be 60%.

Using the formula

S = p(1-r) where

S is the sales price of the bicycle

p is the original price of the bicycle

r is the percentage discount

Given sales price = $315

Total percentage discount = 60% = 0.6

Substituting this in the formula above we have:

$315 = p(1-0.6)

$315 = 0.4p

P = $315/0.4

P = $787.5

The original price of the bicycle = $787.5

This means that the bicycle was discounted in total by 60%, so $315 is 40% of the original price to get 40% to 100% youd multiply it by 2.5 so so the same to the price 315 x 2.5= 787.5

A line passes through the points (15,−13) and (16,−11). Hollis writes the equation y+13=(x−15) to represent the line. Which answ
Andru [333]

The equation formula is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Using the first point for x1, y1:

Y +13 = m(x-15)

M is the slope which is the change in y over the change in x:

M = -11–13 / 16-15 = 2/1 = 2

The equation becomes y +13 =2(x+15)

The answer is:

He incorrectly wrote the slope in his equation. He should have written y+13=2(x−15).

Both pyramids in the figure have the same base area as the prism. The ratio of the combined volume of the pyramids to the volum
defon
At first, I thought this was going to be a dog of a bear of a problem,
but then I fixated it with my steely burning gaze and it fell apart for me.

The volume of a pyramid is   (1/3) (base area) (height)

Each of these pyramids has the same base area and the
same height, so ...

      Volume of the lower pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)
      Volume of the upper pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)

Combined volume of both pyramids = (2/3) (base area) (height) .

Now, how do the pyramids relate to the rectangular prism ?

Their base area is  (length x width) of the prism, and
their height is  (1/2 the height) of the prism.

From here, we'll work with the dimensions of the prism ... L, W, and H .

Combined volume of the pyramids = (2/3) (L x W) (1/2 H)

                                                           =  (1/3) (L x W x H) .

Volume of the prism  =  (L x W x H)

The pyramids occupy 1/3 the volume of the prism.

The ratio is  1/3 .

Neporo4naja [7]
To answer this kinda question, we gotta tackle it year by year. 
By the end of the first year, the tree would grow by 2% = 102% of its original height.
Year 1: 102% x 50 = 51 feet
Year 2: 103% x 51 = 52.02 feet

Hope I helped!! xx
