In a sale there is 25%off on all prices an TV costs £90 in the sale. How much was it before the sale?

Since 25% off from sale:
That means sale was = (100 -25)% = 75% of marked price.

Let marked price be = x.
Therefore, 0.75x = 90.
      x = 90/0.75 Use your calculator.
   x = 120.
   Marked price before sale = £ 120.

To work out how much something was before the discount, you have to divide the price (which is £90) by 75 (as this is the percentage that you paid). It's gives you £1.20. Therefore, 1% is £1.20. To find the original cost, which is 100%, you have to multiply it by 100. Multiplying £1.20 by 100 gives you £120. Therefore, the cost of the TV before the 25% reeducation was £120. Hope this helps :)

Hello LovingAngel!

To find the slope, you can use the formulas $\frac{rise}{run}$ as well as $\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2 - x^1}$ . I am using the latter to calculate and ensuring my answer with the former.

[Note: (x,y) is the format for ordered pairs]

First pair: value 1:(1,5) and value 2:(2,8)
$\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2 - x^1}$ -> $\frac{8 - 5}{2 - 1}$ -> $\frac{3}{1}$ or 3.

The slope for (1,5) and (2,8) is 3(/1).

Second pair: value 1: (3,1) value 2 (3,-1)

$\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2 - x^1}$ -> $\frac{-1 - 1}{3 - 3}$ -> $\frac{-2}{0}$
Slope for the second pair is -2/0

Checking work with $\frac{rise}{run}$
1. Slope: 3/1, meaning rise (y) +3 and run (x) +1. (1,5) -> (1+1,5 + 3) -> (2,8) ✔
2. Slope: -2/0, meaning rise (y) -2/drop (y) 2 and run 0. (3,1) -> (3 + 0, 1 + -2) -> (3,-1) <span>✔</span>
