You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off. The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00. How much

will you save?
I was hoping someone could help me do this in the distributive property. I'm a bit confused about how to do it with the distributive property however I know how to do it without.

Answer:

$2.69

Step-by-step explanation:

The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00.

You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off (or 0.2 as decimal).

In total, you'll save:

0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6

Uce distributive property:

0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6\\ \\=0.2\cdot (\$2.50+\$4.95+\$6.00)\\ \\=0.2\cdot \$13.45\\ \\=\$2.69

. Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points use point
Damm [24]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to figure out a linear equation. When given two points - (x_{1}, y_{1})and (x_{2}, y_{2}) - first subtract y_{1} from y_{2} and and x_{1} from x_{2}. So in your situation, it will be 2-1 and 5-2. That equals 1 and 3, so your slope (how much the line moves up/down per unit) will be \frac{1}{3} x.

Next, we need to find the y-intercept. To solve using point-slope form, we will plug our numbers in:

y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})\\y-1=\frac{1}{3}(x-2)\\y-1=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}\\/+1=//+1\\y = \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

So our final equation is y = \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}, which passes through both (2,1) and (5,2). Hope this helps :)
