Answer:

  • original cost: $195.00
  • % discount: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

I wouldn't mess with trying to set up proportions. That seems an inappropriate tool for this. Instead, make use of the known relationships between the various prices:

  original cost - discount amount = discounted price

Adding the discounted amount to both sides of this equation gives ...

  original cost = discounted price + discount amount

  original cost = $163.80 + 31.20

  original cost = $195.00

_____

The percentage discount is ...

  percent discount = (discount amount)/(original cost) × 100%

  = $31.20/$195.00 × 100%

  = 16%

The percentage discount is 16%.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The Slope is \frac{1}{4}\\

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Notice that both the points, (-7,-6) and (-3,-5), are on the line. So we can use those points to calculate the slope. Recall that that slope of the line m can be calculated by \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\ if we have the points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2).

<h3>Calculating for the slope of the line:</h3>

Given

(-7,-6)

(-3,-5)

m = \frac{-5 -(-6)}{-3 -(-7)} \\ m = \frac{-5 +6}{-3 +7} \\ m = \frac{1}{4}
