<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks to make an equation with the information that was given.

<h3>Answer: y = -5x + 30</h3>

In order to make an equation for your question. We would be making an equation with the formula: y = mx + b.

Formula: y = mx + b

m = change

x = amount of ice cream

b = starting value

We would need to gather the key information from the question.

Key information:

You have $30

Each ice cream cost $5

With the information above, we can make an equation for the question.

What we know is that you started with $30, so that means that 30 would be your b value (starting value).

Your equation should look like this:

y = mx + 30

Now, we know that each ice cream cost $5, but since we're paying for the ice cream, we would subtract that from our starting value. This means that our change would be -5, since we are taking away $5 each time we buy ice cream.

Your equation should look like this:

y = -5x + 30

The equation above would be the equation for your question.

We would do nothing to x but just leave it as is, since we don't know how many ice creams you're going to buy.

y = -5x + 30 should be your FINAL answer.

<h3>I hope this helps!</h3><h3>Best regards, MasterInvestor</h3>

GaryK [48]

Answer:

a. $121.07

b. $60.9

C. $20.03

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation given

Y=181.7-20.21x

Where y is in dollars and X is in years

a. To find the resale price after 3years we have, we substitute x=3 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(3)

y=181.7-60.63

y=121.07

The resale price after 3years is $121.07

b. To find the resale price after 6years we have, we substitute x=6 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(6)

y=181.7-120.72

y=60.98

The resale price after 3years is $60.98

C. To find the average decrease per year, we have

[(x=3)-(x=6)]/3

=(121.07-60.98)/3

$20.03

Hence the average annual decrease is $20.03

25 percent is the same as the decimal 0.25.

Multiply 100 by 0.25 to see what 25% of 100 is.
100x0.25=25

Then, to find the price raised by 25%, add 25 to 100.
100+25=125

The final answer is $125.

Hope this helps!
