Part A: Let the September price be x, then
1.2x = 1.5
x = 1.5/1.2 = 1.25
Therefore, September price is $1.25
Part B: In September, they earned 0.4 * 1.25 * 900 = $450
In October, they earned 0.4 * 1.5 * 700 = $420
Therefore, they earned more money in September.
The leftmost line segment has a domain of -4 ≤ x < -1, or [-4, 1).
The central line segment has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 2, or [-1, 2].
The rightmost line segment has a domain of 2 < x ≤ 5, or (2, 5].
Overall, this function has a domain of
[-4, 1) U [-1, 2] U (2, 5]
(where U means "union" in the set-theoretic notion)
But this also simplifies to the interval [-4, 5].
These correspond to the <u>first</u> and <u>last</u> choices.

8x+15=7
In the statement the phrase the sum of can tell you that it is going to be an addition problem. So 8x ( eight times a number) would be added to the 15, 8x+15. Since its an addition problem the part where it says ' ... is seven', you know that it will all equal 7. So the answer would be 8x+15=7.
