So.. hmmm if we take "x" to be the 100% sale price before tax, $76 is really 9.5% of that

thus \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
76&9.5\\
x&100
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{76}{x}=\cfrac{9.5}{100}

solve for "x"

Y= 1/3x-9
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y=3x+28

Step-by-step explanation:

so a line perpendicular to one with a slope of 1/3 would have a slope of 3/1 which is just 3

so your line would be y=3x+b

to find b you just plug in the coordinates of the point that you want it to pass through into x and y. Remember that points are written as (x,y)

10=3x-6+b

10=-18+b

28= b

the equation is y=3x+28

Olegator [25]

9*3.14 = 28.26

(This solves for circumference)

300/28.26 = 10.6157

(This solves for rotations)

About 11 rotations.
