Answer: No, it is not a direct proportion equation
Explanation:
Direct proportions are always in the form 
where k is any nonzero real number. So for example, we could have the equation 
. The y intercept of any direct proportion is always zero. Visually, such equations will go through the origin.
Something like 
has a y intercept of -7 and it doesn't fit the form , so it's <u>not</u> a direct proportion equation.
Answer:
3x
Step-by-step explanation:
1(x3)
bc the () is mulitplication so 1 x 3 = 3x
Here are two ways of doing it.
************************************************************
1) The current price is 100% of the price. The price went down by 6%, so since 100% - 6% = 94%, the new price is 94% of the original price.
94% * 175 = 0.94 * 175 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50
*******************************************************
2) The discount is 6% of 175, so first, we find the discount.
6% of 175 = 0.06 * 175 = 10.5
Now we subtract the amount of the discount from the original price.
175 - 10.50 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50
**********************************************************
As you can see, both methods give you the same answer, 164.50
The answer to the problem is 50908
