Mr. Miller purchased two coats that cost the same amount from an online store. The total amount Mr. Miller paid was$118. What was the price of one coat?

The price of 1 coat is $59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 2 coats have the same price so in order to find the price of 1 coat, you have to divide by 2 :

2 coats = $118

1 coat = $118 ÷ 2

1 coat = $59

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
