Answrer

Option (a) is correct .

i.e  take 10% of $85

Reason

As given

15% and 10% on a $100 item i.e first applied 15 % discount on $ 100 and than apply 10% discount .

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 100 - 0.15 × 100

                                                                              = 100 - 15

                                                                              = $ 85

Now apply 10 % discount on $ 85.

10 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 85- 0.1 × 85

                                                                              = 85 - 8.5

                                                                              = $ 76.5

Therefore the option (a) is correct about the  successive discounts of 15% and 10% on a $100 item is $76.5 .

It would be a, take 10% of $85 as the $15 is taken off first then the next discount is attached to the new price

Solve the following system of equations graphically on the set of axes below.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations graphically, you plot each one, then identify the coordinates of the point of intersection.

The first equation can be graphed using the y-intercept of -1 and the slope of 2.

The second equation has a y-intercept of 18/3 = 6, and a slope of -1/3. The x-intercept of 18 is off the chart, so the slope and intercept are a good way to plot this line, too.

__

The slope is the "rise" divided by the "run". A slope of 2 means the line goes up 2 units for each unit to the right. A slope of -1/3 means the line goes down 1 unit for each 3 units to the right.

The solution is (x, y) = (3, 5).
