Andrea wanted to calculate 5% of 300, so she multiplied 300 by 0.5 (300 x 0.5).

This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so  5 divided by 100 = 0.05  [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer

quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so  10% of 300 is 30

since  5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15

and so  5% of 300 is 15

The graph of a linear relationship is shown. Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y in the graph
Finger [1]

Answer:

B.  y = -3/4x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points from the graph, let's use (-2, 4) and (2, 1):

Find slope:

 m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

     = (1 - 4) / (2 - (-2))

     = -3/4

Find y-intercept using slope above and anyone point:

y = mx + b

(1) = -3/4(2) + b

1 = -3/2 + b

b = 1 + 3/2

b = 5/2

Equation of line using m and b above:

y = mx + b

y = -3/4x + 5/2
