Realize "%" means "/100".
26 2/5% = 26.4% = 26.4/100 = 264/1000 = 0.264
First, you multiply $55.96 by $0.12 and you get $6.7152. Then, multiply $49.96 by $0.14 and you get $6.9944. If you subtract $69944-$6.7152 you get your answer which is $0.2792.
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/4
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub
-4 = 3/4(5) + b
-4 = 15/4 + b
-4 - 15/4 = b
-16/4 - 15/4 = b
- 31/4 = b....or - 7 3/4 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x + (-31/4) or y = 3/4x - 31/4
Just plug in the values for m
so the possible values for k are
when m=5

when m=7

when m=9

so the possible values for k are {4,5,6}
