To get the answer you have to divide the sale price $172.80 by 73%.
So first you turn 73% into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left turning it into .73

$172.80 divided by .73 = $236.71

You can check by then multiplying $236.71 with .73

The sale price is 27% so we multiply 172.80 by 3 to get a total of 518.40 which is 81% of the original cost but now how do we find the other 19%? well 172.80 divided by .27 gives us 6.40 all we have to do is do the equation 6.40*19 which is 121.60 now we add 518.40 with 121.60 to get 640.00

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It is not a function!

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not a function!

A function can't have two y-values assigned to the same x-value. In this case, you can se that for x=1 we have two y-values, which are y= -2 and y= -3.

We can have have two x-values assigned to the same y-value, that's why it's okay that for x=1 and x=3 we have the same y-value y=-2
