Just divide 100% by 80% and multiply that answer by 5. I'm pretty sure that's how you do it.
Answer:
$16.74
Step-by-step explanation:
If the price has been reduced by 35%, it is 100% -35% = 65% of what it was.
0.65 × $25.75 = $16.7375 ≈ $16.74
You will pay $16.74 for the chips.
You did not give us the function
Answer:
y = -18
General Formulas and Concepts:

- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = 5x - 3
3x - 2y = 27
<u>Step 2: Rewrite systems</u>
- Define: 3x - 2y = 27
- Add 2y on both sides: 3x = 2y + 27
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 3: Redefine</u>
y = 5x - 3
x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 5(2/3y + 9) - 3
- Distribute 5: y = 10/3y + 45 - 3
- Combine like terms: y = 10/3y + 42
- Subtract 10/3y on both sides: -7/3y = 42
- Divide -7/3 on both sides: y = -18
