in order to get the percentage you would just need to divide 6,840 by 38,000 (6840/38000 = .18)
this gives you .18
.18 is equivalent to 18%
John paid 18% of his earnings on entertainment.
916...the 9 is in the hundreds place so its value is 900
791...the 9 is in the tens place so its value is 90
900/90 = 10
so the 9 in 916 is 10 times bigger then the 9 in 791
The slope would be positive in this case
