You could do :
Johnny was financing a limited editions Xbox One S. The price was $420 and he put down 40%. How much is left to be financed?
dp=420(40/100)=16800/100=168
then you would subtract 420-168 which would give you 252
;) good luck !!
Plug any number in for x and find the resulting y, then if you need to graph place the coordinate points on the plane. For example if you set x=2 the equation becomes y=0.5(2). From here we can see 0.5(2)=1 and this is equal to 1 so in a data chart you would write under x the number 1 and under y the number 2.
There would be 2034 students competing in 2012.
We can write a simple equation to find this answer. Let X, be the number of students starting in 2012. Then, we multiply by 0.9 and 1.1 to get to 2014. To work backwards, just divide by 1.1, then by 0.9.
2014 / 1.1 / 0.9 = 2034
