The answer is B

If the sweater is on sale for 20%, then the sale price will be 80% of the regular price.

Therefore, $60 = 80% of regular price

$60/80 = $0.75 which gives you 1% of the regular price
So $0.75 is 1% of regular price.

$0.75 * 100 = $75 which gives you the regular price as 1% multiplied 100 times = full price

Soooo, full price is b.) $75

You've baked 26 cookies, which is two-thirds of all the cookies you planned to bake. How many cookies did you plan to make?

Answer,

(26/2) * 3

= 39

Explanation,

26 cookies is only 2/3 of 3/3. So, we divide 26 by 2 to see how many cookies are in 1/3. We then can find out that when you make 1/3 of the cookies there are 13. Since that is only 1/3 and we want to find out 3/3. We multiply 13 by 3 and get 39 which is all the cookies she planned to make.

Hope this helps :-)

To start, the equation has to be converted to slope-intercept form, or $y=mx+b$ . Start by subtracting x from both sides; $x-x+2y=4$ , $2y=4-x$ . Switch 4 and -x around to conform to the formula; $2y=-x+4$ . Then divide by 2 to isolate y; $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2$ . This is the final equation. Because the slope of a line perpendicular is always the opposite reciprocal (i.e. The opposite reciprocal of 4 is $-\frac{1}{4}$ , the opposite reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{5}$ is 5) the opposite reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{2}$ is 2. So the equation of the line is $y=2x$ , and the answer is A.
