Answer:
I think its -12. If you apply y2-y1/ x2-x1 to the equation.
Because the sofa usually sells for $800, we know that's 100% of the price.
100% = $800
Let's find 1%.
1% = $800/100
1% = $8
Next, multiply $8 by 75 to find the percent of the sofas price when it's $600.
75% = $600
We now know that $600 is 75% of the sofas original price.
100% - 75% = 25%
The percent of decrease I'm the sofas sale price is 25%.
Hope I got that right, the question was worded a little strangley so I wasn't quite sure what you were asking :)
Answer:
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 12y = 352
10x +8y = 270
Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.
Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.
11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)
10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)
-------------------
110x + 120y = 3520
110x +88y = 2970
--------------------------
3y = 550
y =550/3
y = 17.1875
The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18
Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"
110x + 120y = 3520
110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520
110x+2062.5=3520
110x=3520−2062.5
110x=1457.5
x= 1457.5/110
x=13.25
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
