The 114 represents 80% of the total price before the sale. You would set up your equation as

Cost Price * 80% = Sale Price.

Sale Price = 114

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

Cost Price = 114/0.8

Cost Price = 142.50 which is the price before the deduction. You can confirm this by taking 20% of 142.50 and subtracting it form 142.50

20% * 142.50

20/100 * 142.50

2850/100

28.50

Now subtract 28.50 from 142.50

142.50 - 28.50 = 114 which is just what you might expect.

The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 7x - 4y = 8 is what
Anni [7]
The y intercept is when x is 0. So, we have to plug in 0 for x. You can do this in many different ways as well.
7(0)-4y=8
-4y=8
Divide both sides by -4.
Y=-2
So, the Y intercept is -2 (0,-2).
