Answer:

a. -5

b.-5

c.-5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.

Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios  between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is

  • ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)

<em>In case a)</em>

f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3          f(3)= -5*3-8= -23

Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5

<em>In case b)</em>

f(a)= (-5a-8)

f(b)= (-5b-8)

Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5

<em>In case c)</em>

f(x)= -5x-8

f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8

then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5

A skirt originally cost $10. How much will it cost if you sell it in Amazon with 25% mark-up price
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$20.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off means that the new price of the skirt will be 80% of the original price:

$30(100%  – 20%) = $30(80%)

Converting the percent to a decimal gives:

$30(0.8) = $24.00

There is an additional 15% off the sale price of $24.00, so the final price is 85% of the sale price:

$24(100%  – 15%) = $24(85%)

Again converting the percent to a decimal gives:

$24(0.85) = $20.40
