Best Answer

Original Price x .85 = 136

Original price = 136/.85 (If you are allowed to use a calculator, you are done here.) IF not, factor and cancel...

136X100/85 = 2x2x2x17x2x2x5x5/17x5 = 2x2x2x2x2x5 = 32 x 5 = 160

160

Where did the word cheapskate come from?

Many decades ago, children's roller skates were made of metal, and clamped on to children's shoes. They were tightened with a small metal "key" which would pull brackets in between the soles of the shoes and the upper leather bodies of the shoes. Then there was a leather strap that was affixed to the back of the skate near the heel of the shoe, and it went over the top of the skater's ankle, to help hold the skate on the foot. Metal shoe skates were used almost exclusively in streets to avoid cracks in the sidewalk that might make you take a nasty fall. Even so, these skates were so cheap and shoddy they often fell off, leaving the skater with one skate on and one dangling by the leather strap as the skater went skate, clomp, skate, clomp to a sudden stop. They were truly... cheap skates. as I understand it back in the early 1900's there there was a woman named Kate Robinson, she was a panhandler and inherited a fortune but continued to beg. So people would tell thrifty people you are as cheap as Kate and it got shortened to cheapskate


How does math play a big role in ice skating?

The biggest role is in the effect of the pressure of the skates on the ice melting it to provide a film of water which lubricates the joint between the ice and the skates and lets them glide over the ice. Then there is the maths regarding the cooling system to ensure the ice stays as ice and doesn't become a big pool of water. Looking at the actual skating, there is the maths behind the movements. How a skater forces themselves forward; how the skater turns corners, how the skater jumps and does spins. For example, in doing a spin, there is conservation of momentum: when the skater spins with their arms outstretched they turn slowly, but when they pull their arms in they spin faster: with their arms outstretched, their moment of inertia is larger than when their arms are pulled in. As [rotational] momentum is speed of rotation times moment of inertia, if the moment of inertia reduces, the speed of rotation must increase to keep the same value (as the momentum is conserved) and hence they spin faster.
