What exactly are you finding
Answer:
turn into improper fractions
1*24+16=40
40/24
1*24+21=45
45/24
40/24+45/24=85/24
work out how many times 24 goes into 85 to get back to a mixed number.
24 goes into 85 three times with 13 left over so the answer is
3 and 13/24
-2, 3 is the correct answer
100% - 40% = 60%, meaning the discounted price is really just 60% of the original 100% price, let's say the 100% price is hmmmm "x".
if 60% of the original price is $471, what is the 100% or namely "x"?

The first thing you should know is that you need three points to be able to graph a second degree equation.
You can create a table and plot several points to obtain the parabola
In this case we will use a computational tool called wolfram alpha
Answer:
See attached image.
The graph is shown for two different intervals of the domain.
