A leather recliner is on sale for 30% less than its original price. A consumer has a coupon that saves an additional of 25% off of the sale price. If the consumer pays $237 for the recliner, which of the following is the original price of the recliner to the nearest dollar?
$316
$431
$451
$527
Correct Answer : C
Given:
- Original price of the recliner: P
- Sale price (30% less than the original price): 0.7P
- Coupon saves an additional 25% off the sale price: 0.75 * 0.7P = 0.525P
- The consumer pays $237 for the recliner.
We set up the equation:
0.525P = 237
Now, let's solve for P:
P = 237 / 0.525}
P = 451.428
Rounded to the nearest dollar, the original price of the recliner is approximately 451 dollars.

Explanation
To find a solution to this, we need to find the change in spending between the year 2013 and 2015 for each country. Change is difference in amount spent in 2015 and 2013 for each country:
Sudan=$(24-17)= $7
Eritrea=$(42-56)= - $14
Nigeria = $(21-16)= $5
Tanzania =$(81-68) = $13
Rwanda = $(24-27) =-$3
Kenya = $(88-81) = $8
A Minus sign means a decrease in spending. From the above calculations, Eritrea had the GREATEST change in dollars spent while Rwanda had the LEAST change in dollars spent.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A negative correlation means as one variable increases, the other variable decreases or as one variable decreases, the other variable increases. Based on this definition, we analyze the given statement as follows:
People who play baseball more tend to have more hits is POSITIVE CORRELATION

Explanation
Let the amount the friend pays be x. Then, 2 times what the friend pays is 2x. Less $2,000 what the friend pays is 2x-2000.
Now we know that
2x-2000=48000
Add 2000 to both sides of the equation
2x-2000+2000=48000+2000
2x+2000-2000=50000
2x=50000
Divide both sides by 2
X=25000
Thus, the friend pays $25,000 for their car.

Explanation
In direct proportion relation, we utilize the relationship as:
Variable∝Variable 2
Thus from the given case,
Force∝stretch
We introduce a constant term, K to remove the sign of proportionality as
Force=K* stretch
Let’s find the value of K, using Force=132 N and stretch of 0.07 m
132 N=K*0.07 m
K=132 N/0.07 m=1885.7 N/m
Now substitute this value of K in the following equation
Force=1885.7 N/m * stretch
For a stretch of 0.1 m, the force needed is
Force=1885.7 N/m * 0.1 m=188.57 N=188.6 N

Use the order of operations to solve the given equation. The acronym PEDMAS will help us to solve the given problem. (or use BODMAS)
P- Parenthesis
E-Exponents
D-Divide
M-Multiply
A-Add
S-Subtract
From the given equation start with solving :-
12 ÷3 * 4 - 1 + 23
Next, carry out division 12÷3=4
4*4-1+23
Multiply is 4*4=16
16-1+23
Add or subtract can be conducted in any order. From left to right, we subtract followed by addition
Subtract 16-1=15
15+23
The last step is to add 15+23
15+23=38
Thus, the answer to the given equation is 38.
