Explanation

Multiply it out:

(x - 3)(x + 7) = x(x + 7) - 3(x + 7)  

= x² + 7x - 3x - 21  

= x² + 4x - 21

Compare with ax² + bx + c:

a = 1

b = 4

c = -21

Shaded portion = 4 out of 12 = 4/12 = 1/3 of the circle.

Total students = 2400  

Freshman students = 2400 × (4/12)  

= 2400 × (1/3)  

= 800

The freshman class has 800 students.

= 136

136 students were not enrolled.

Explanation

Selling price after discount = 80% of list price, because 100% - 20% = 80%.

Let list price = L.

So 0.8 * L = 480  

L = 480 / 0.8  

L = 600

The list price was Rs 600.
