I do not know which formula to use Carla bought a dress at a sale for 20% off the original price. The sale price of the dress was $68.90. Find the original price of the drees, in dollars.

Step by step explanation please.

I think it's the second formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

The discount rate is 20%

Sale Price is $68.90

Discount = 20% of x = 0.2x

Using the formula, Sale Price = Original Price - Discount,

Original Price - Discount is x-0.2x = 0.8x

$68.90 = 0.8x

From here on, just do the equation :) Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

4*4*4*4=256

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
