Really night what's the problem
To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.
We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120
15% = 0.15
0.15 x 120 = 18
So 18 is 15% of 120.
Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%
So 120 - 18 = 102
Your answer is £102
Equations of straight lines are in the form y = mx + c (m and c are numbers). m is the gradient of the line and c is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis).
First, find the gradient/slope:
Use slope formula:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(11-5)/(3-1)
=6/2
=3
Then use the line equation formula:
y=mx+c
You can substitute (1,5) if you like, also must substitute the slope as well!
5=3x1+c
c=2
Then find the full equation, which gives you the answer:
y=3x+2
10 9/10.... because 10 can be divided into 109 10 whole times with a remainder of 9 so you put the 9 over the original denominator which is 10 so 9 over 10
