Let's say the original price was "x", thus "x" is the 100%, and we know that 15 is 80% of that, thus
Graph the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at (−2,−2). Use the Polygon tool to graph the q
uadrilateral by connecting all its vertices.

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Every vertex moves twice as far from the center of dilation as it is in the pre-image.
Perhaps the easiest image point to find is the one at lower left. In the pre-image it is 2 units left of the center of dilation, so the image point will be 2×2 = 4 units left of the center of dilation. It will be located at (-6, -2).
Other points on the image can be found either by reference to the center of dilation, or by reference to known image points. For example, the next point clockwise is 1 left and 4 up in the pre-image, so will be 2 left and 8 up from (-6, -2) in the image. That is, the pre-image point (-5, 2) becomes image point (-8, 6). You will note that (-5, 2) is 3 left and 4 up from the center of dilation, and that (-8, 6) is 6 left and 8 up from the center of dilation (twice as far away).

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.
In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.
