Jared recently purchased a new pair of running shoes. he got a 20% discount, which saved him $9.00. what was the original price of the shoes?

We can list an algebraic equation.
Let the original price of the shoes be y.
We can conclude that if he saved $9, which means he paid $y - 9
So
y x ( 1 - 20%) = y - 9
Note that ( 1 - 20%) is what he has to pay after the discount.
y x 80% = y - 9
0.8y = y - 9
0.8y + 9 = y
9 = y - 0.8y
9 = 0.2y
9 / 0.2 = y
y = 45
Therefore the original price of the shoe is $45

Your question is. Jared recently purchased a new pair of running shoes. He got a 20% discount, which saved him $9.00.

First you need to find out what 20% so to find that you need to divide 20 by 100 then you will have the answer to that part then you need to add what is left which is the 9 dollars then add the answer of 20% with 9.00 and you will get your answer.

20/100= 5 and then add 9.00 and you get $14.00 dollars 

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q )0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( 2 + 5 i ),   by multiplying these0 = ( 4 + 10 i - 8 - 20 i )0 = 4 - 8 + 10 i - 20 i0 = - 4 -10 i   0 = 2 ( - 2 - 5 i )0 / 2 = - 2 - 5 i- 2 - 5 i = 0- 5 i = 2i = 2 / - 5
