Hello there! I can help you!
7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.
8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.
9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is: "(-1, -2)" .
________________________________________
Note: By examining the point of intersection of the lines of the 2 graphs show in the "image attached", we can see that the point of intersection is at: "(-1, 2"); that is: "x = -1, y = 2" .
________________________________________
2x + 3y = -6 (Subtract 2x from both sides)
3y = -2x - 6 (Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x) which will give you y = -2/3x - 2 and this graphed would cross the x-axis at (-3,0) and the y-axis at (0, -2). So a + b = -5
