When the lines are parallel, the slope have to be the same for both and we know that the slope of line B is 5/2, so the answer would be D) 5/2
,
of the usual price is the savings .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , At a hardware store, a tool set normally costs $80. During a sale this week, the tool set costs $12 less than usual. We need to find What percentage of the usual price is the savings . Let's find out:
Initially we have cost as $80 , in sale it is $12 less i.e.
⇒ 
⇒ 
So , percentage of the usual price is the savings :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore ,
of the usual price is the savings .
Answer: -8.58

Let one pen be

and one pencil as

, we can produce two equations in terms of

and


------> Equation 1

------> Equation 2
We can use either Elimination or Substitution method. Let's try the substitution method
Rearranging equation one to get

and substitute into equation 2, gives





We can use either equation one or equation to work out




The price of one pen is $0.85
The price of one pencil is $0.32
