.2 (simplified from 0.20)
2/10 (simplified from 20/100)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at where -2 is on the x-axis (the left side of the horizontal line), and go another half a box in, that is -2.5. But then go down one box from there, and plot the point. that is (-2.5,-1).
Next go half a box to the right and two boxes up, and plot your point there. that is (.5,2).
The key words you should notice when looking at this word problem are “less than.” This means that the order is flipped, so “3 less than k” means “k minus 3.”
The expression for the ratio is k-3:k+3

Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
