The final cost of a sale item is determined by multiplying the price on the tag by 75%. Which best describes the function that r

epresents the situation? It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant. It is linear because the function is continuous. It is nonlinear because the final cost is determined by multiplying each price tag by 0.75. It is nonlinear because the price tag and final cost columns do not have the same common difference.

Let us assume the price on tag is $p and the sale is represented by $s.

It is given that, the price on each tag is multiplied by 75%

75% = \frac{75}{100} = 0.75

s = 0.75\times p

s=0.75p

If we compare this equation with the slope intercept form of line i.e y=mx+b

slope m = 0.75 which is constant for all the prices.

Hence, it is clear that the function is linear.

This rejects option C and option D

All linear equations are continuous but we are dealing with the price and sale and price cannot be 0. So we cannot choose option B.

Thus option A is correct .

First we try to frame the equation between the sale price and the final cost.

Let us consider, the price to be x and the final cost to be y, since the final cost is 75% of the price, we have the below equation

y = 0.75x

This is of the form of straight line equation y = mx +c where c =0 and m = 0.75

This means the function is linear since it satisfies a straight line equation.

So, we can eliminate options (3) and (4)

Now, the function is not a continuous one because the function is has definite value which is 0.75x and this make the function discrete. Hence option (2) is eliminated

Therefore we are left with option (1) which is the answer

Answer is (1) It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant

15% of Alina’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. 25% of Dane’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. Which statement must be
Arisa [49]


The correct answer is B. If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.

To figure this out, first find 15% of 80 and then 25% of 48.

To find 15% of 80, you can first find 10% of 80 which is 8(just move the decimal one place to the left). The remaining 5% will be half of 8 since 8 is 10%. Add both the numbers up and you will get 12. (8+4=12)

To find 25% of 48, you can divide 48 by 4. Since percent means 'out of 100', 25% is 25 of 100. 100 divided by 25 is equal to 4. So, 48 divided by 4 is equal to 12.

So, the final answer is B. They both equal to 12.

Hope it helps :)
