The correct answer is A, smaller than the size you started with. Because you increased the size by 30% of the original page, and then took 30% of the larger page, you're taking more away than you increased it by. For instance, if you had a page that was 60 units², and you increased it by 30% (18 units), you would get 78 units². However, if you took 30% of 78 (23.4) and subtracted it, you would get 54.6 units², which is smaller than 60 units².

Hope this helps!

The yearly cost in dollars, y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = x + 60 for a member and y

morpeh [17]

<span>We have the yearly cost in dollars y at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased $x$ . So we know that:

</span> $y=x+60:\ equation \ for \ a \ member$ <span>

</span> $y=x:\ equation \ for \ a \ nonmember$ <span>
</span><span>
Then we can study this problem by using the graph in the figure below. We know that if there's no any purchase, the yearly cost for a member will be $60 and for a nonmember there will not be any cost. From this, we can affirm that the cost of membership is equal to $60.

On the other hand, both members and nonmembers will pay the same price on the total game tokens purchased, this is true because of the same slope that members and nonmembers have in the equations.</span>
