A shop advertises 20% off its prices in a sale.
A hat is £36 in the sale.
How much was it before the price reduction?

£45

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the original price is x. When we take 20% off, that's basically multiplying x by 20% and then subtracting that product from the original price, which is x:

x - 20% * x = 80% * x = 0.8x

Now, this equals £36, so we just set them equal:

0.8x = 36

Dividing by 0.8 from both sides, we get:

x = £45

Thus, the answer is £45.

£43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

before discount the price was

120%×36

=£43.2

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
