An online store increased the price of a shirt by 17% and charged $3 to ship the shirt to a customer. The customer paid $43 for the shirt. What was the original price of the shirt? Please explain thoroughly how to get the answer.

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price

Percentage increase in price = 17%

New price = original price + Percentage increase in price

= x + 17% of x

= x + 0.17 * x

= x + 0.17x

= 1.17x

Shipping cost = $3

Total cost = $43

Total cost = New price + Shipping cost

43 = 1.17x + 3

43 - 3 = 1.17x

40 = 1.17x

x = 40 / 1.17

x = $34.188034188034

Approximately,

x = $34.2

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
