Equation  1):

You want to buy something that costs $166.66, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percent's, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $166.66 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $166.66, like this:  

0.250 x $166.66 = $41.67.

So for this sale, you'll save $41.67 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$166.66 - $41.67 = $125.00.

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?  

0.750 x $166.66 = $125.00.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $125.00.





Equation 2:)

You want to buy something that costs $125, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percent's, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $125 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $125, like this:  

0.250 x $125 = $31.25.

So for this sale, you'll save $31.25 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$125 - $31.25 = $93.75.  

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?

0.750 x $125 = $93.75.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $93.75.




Hope that helps!!!                                                     : )

Match each statement with its corresponding value for the system below:
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

1. 1 point

2. The x-coordinate of the solution = 2/17

3. The y-coordinate of the solution = -16/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the equation is of the form;

y = -2³×x and y = 9·x - 2, we have;

y = -8·x and y = 9·x - 2

1. Given that the two lines are straight lines, the number of points of intersection is one.

2. The x-coordinate of the solution

To find a solution to the system of equations, we equate both expression of the functions and solve for the independent variable x as follows;

-8·x = 9·x - 2

-8·x - 9·x=  - 2

-17·x = -2

x = 2/17

The x-coordinate of the solution = 2/17

3. The y-coordinate of the solution

y = 9·x - 2 = 9×2/17 - 2 = -16/17

y = -16/17

The y-coordinate of the solution = -16/17.
