Kevin is buying a pair of water skis that are on sale for 2/3 of the original price after he uses a $25 gift certificate, the total cost before taxes is$115. what was the original price of the skis?

$210

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we can do is to add the $25 back on to the total cost.

25 + 115 = 140.

We do this because he Sam used a gift certificate on the ski's that are already 2/3 of the original price.

Now, to find the original price we can use this equation:

X represents the original price.

To solve this equation you would flip 2/3 to 3/2 and multiply that by 140, as seen below:

Now you can solve:

We can check this answer by multiplying 210 by 2/3

(210)(2/3) = 140

Remember, Sam used a gift certificate for $25

140 - 25 = $115

Therefore, the original price of the skis is $210.

I hope this helps!!

The answer is in the image 

The solution is in the following image

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

The solution is given in the image below

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

Salesperson will make 6% of 1800

=(6/100)*1800

=108

Salesperson will make $108 in $1800 sales

tip=18% of 75.45

     =18/100 * 75.45 = $13.581

Tip = $13.581

Area of rectangle= L*b

here,

L=12.4 cm

b= 8.8 cm

A= L*b

= 12.4 * 8.8 = 109.12 cm^2
