A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns shown, making the one-day sale price of the ski set $326. Find the original selling price of the ski set. This is for original and then 10% off then 30% off.

The original selling price is $517.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial selling price be $q

After marking down 10%,

Final Selling price  = Selling price(1-10%)

Selling price = q – 10% of q = q – 0.1q = 0.9q

After marking 30%

Final Selling price  = Selling price(1-10%)

Selling price = 0.9q – (0.3*0.9q) = 0.9q – 0.27q = 0.63q

Therefore,

0.63q = 326

Therefore, the original selling price is $517.46

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
