The first thing to do with these problems is to convert them into y=mx+b form; this will literally show you the answer to slope and y intercept since m=slope and b=y intercept.
To convert, isolate the y and the rest should fall into place. Subtract 2x from 4y and the other side of the equation to get the equation 4y= -2x+9 (put the x first because of mx+b). Then Divide the 4 from y and do the same to the other side to get y= -1/2x+9/4. M= -1/2 so that is the slope. B=9/4 so that is the y intercept
Answer:
£9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the original price of a CD
£x = 100% of the original price
The price of a CD was decreased by 20% to £7.68.
This means:
£7.68 = 100% - 20%
£7.68 = 80% of the original price
From this, we will find 1% of the original price.
£7.68 ÷ 80 = 1%
£0.096 = 1%
Since the original price ( x ) = 100% of the original price, we will find 100% of the original price.
£0.096 × 100 = 100%
£9.6 = 100%
Therefore, the original price of a CD = £9.6
There is something wrong with drawing. IC intercepts with AB at A.
3 out of 10 or 30% becasue if he is guessing and he has to get 7 out of 10 right then it would be 3 out of 10
