The number of books Alisha did not sell after making a profit of £490 is 45 books

<h3 />

How to find how many book she sell base on the profit?

She buys 200 books costing £3 each.

Therefore,

cost = 3 × 200 = £600

Hence,

She sells 2/5 of the books at £8 each.

total amount = 2 / 5 of 200 × 8

total amount = 80 × 8

total amount = £640

Alisha then reduces the price of the remaining books by a quarter.

She then sells some of the remaining books.

Therefore,

the remaining book = 120

She sold some of the remaining books.

profit = selling price - cost price

490  = selling price - 600

selling price = 490 + 600

selling price = £1090

Therefore,

the cost of the remaining book she sold = 1090 - 640 = £450

Hence,

let

x = number of book sold

6(x) = 450

x = 450 / 6

x = 75

The number book she did not sell = 120 - 75 = 45

Part 1
Let:
y be the total cost
x be the number of tickets
a be fair admission

Since the fair charges $1.25 per ticket, the equation of the line would look like:

y = 1.25x + a

Since Johnny spent $43.75 and bought 25 tickets, we find a by replacing y with 43.75 and x with 25:

43.75 = 1.25×25 + a

Now solve for a

43.75 = 31.25 + a
43.75 - 31.25 = a
a = 12.50

Going back to the first equation:

y = 1.25x + 12.50


Part 2:
a) Let (9,8) be (x1,y1) and (4,-12) be (x2,y2)
The formula for slope is:
m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 12 - 8}{4 - 9}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 20}{ - 5}  \\ m = 4
b) For the point-slope equation, I'll use (9,8)
Using the formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y - 8 = 4(x - 9)
c) For the slope-intercept form, we solve for y in the point-slope formula:
y - 8 = 4(x - 9) \\ y = 4x - 36 + 8 \\ y = 4x - 28
