The first number is 80% of the second number, not 75%, hence, Brad is wrong.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The percentage is a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, a second number is 125% of the first number.

Let the first number be 100, then the second number will be:

125% of 100

= (125/100) × 100

= 125

Now, divide the first number, 100, by the second number, 125, and then multiply with 100 to know how much % the first number is of the second number:
(100/125) ×100%

=80%

Therefore, the first number is 80% of the second number, not 75%.

Hence, Brad is wrong.

If pencils sell at 6 for 59 cents how many pencils can be bought for 2.95
Olegator [25]
We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
                           = 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
                                                                       = 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
                                                                                                   = 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.

Which equation models a line that passes through point (-2,2) And has a slope of -8
trasher [3.6K]

So we will be using y=mx+b form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.


2=-8(-2)+b


Firstly, do the multiplication: 2=16+b


Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b



Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
