Plug the given x and y values (x, y) into the equations and solve
It look like the second equation is the answer.
Answer:
b = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
x -3 (2x-3) + 5x = bx + 9
x - 6x +9 + 5x = bx + 9
-9 -9
x - 6x + 5x = bx
-5x + 5x = bx
0 = bx
b/x 0/x
b = 0
56.67 cups of flour
10 divided by 3 = 3.33 x 17 = 56.67 cups
Old price: p1 = $ 3.90;
New price: p2 = $ 3.40.
The percentual decrease is given by
d(%) = [ (p2 - p1) / p1 ] * 100 %
d(%) = [ (3.40 - 3.90) / 3.90 ] * 100 %
d(%) = [ - 0.50 / 3.90 ] * 100 %
d(%) = - 0.128 * 100 %
d(%) = - 12.8 % (approximately)
So the price fell 12.8 % approximately.
I hope this helps. =)
