Ray wants to buy an item worth 500$ in the most cost-effective way. Let's study each of the 3 cases and see with option is the best.
In the first option, he'll buy the item at list price with a coupon for $10 off. So he'll buy it at 500-10 =$490.
In the second option, he'll buy a membership for $35 and then get the item at a 15% discount. With a 15% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.15) = 500 - 75 = $425. And with the membership price, he'll pay a total of 425 + 35 = $460.
The third option is to buy the item online at a 10% discount and pay $4 for the shipping. At 10% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.1) = 500 - 50 = $450. And with cost of the shipping, he'll pay a total of 450+4 = $454.
So if he chooses the first option, he'll pay $490. With the second, he'll pay $460. And finally with the third, he'll pay $454.
So the third option is the most cost-effective, buying the item at $454.
Hope this helps! :)
It must be about the origin in order to do that
X=23
(x+5) - 25 = 3?
If this is what you mean.
Well, let's first write these as points.
( 2 , 50 )
( 4 , 100 )
We can see that when "x" is reduced by 2, "y" is reduced by 50. This means that if we reduce "x" by 1, "y" will be reduced by 25. Thus, we can say that if "x" is 1, "y" will be 25.
( 1 , 25 )
What we know that 25 * 1 = 25, and that 2 * 25 = 50. We can see that multiplying "x" by 25 will give us our "y". We can now write this as an equation.
y = 25x
