Abook was on sale for 40% off its original price. if
the sale price of the book was $18.00, what was the
original price of the book? (assume there is no sales
tax.)
a) $7.20
b) $10.80
c) $30.00
d) $45.00

Option C: $30 is the original price of book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of book be x

Given that:

Sale price = x - 40% of x

As it is given that the sale price was $18

So,

$18 =  x - 40% of x

By simplifying:

$18 = x - 0.4x

$18 = 0.6x

Dividing both sides by 0.6:

x = $18/0.6

x = $ 30

So the original price of book will be $30

i hope it will help you!

Option (c) $30.00

Explanation:

Let the original price be $x

Given the rate of discount is 40%

Selling (or sale) price of the book is = $18

The original price is calculated by the formula,

Selling Price = Original Price(1 – r%)

Substituting the values in the above equation,

Therefore, x = 30

Hence, option (c)is correct

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
