Answer:

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, call x on Emma's phone and z on Sophie's phone.

We know that the price relationship between x and z is 7: 8

This means that:

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{z}

We know that the price of Sophie's phone is $ 640

Entoces z = 640  

Now we clear x

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{640}\\ x =640}\frac{7}{8}=560\\ x = 560

Then, if the new relationship is 9:11 then:

\frac{9}{11} =\frac{x}{640}

x = $523,636

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Let cost of Emma's phone = x

Given that cost of Sophie's phone = 640

Then ratio of their phones cost will be x:640 or x/640

Given that ratio of their phones cost is 7:8 or 7/8

So both ratios will be equal.

\frac{x}{640}=\frac{7}{8}

x=\frac{7}{8}*640

x=560


So the new ratio of the cost of their phones will be 560:640

Now we have to find about how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

So let that decreased amount is k then we will get equation :

\frac{560-k}{640-k}=\frac{9}{11}

11(560-k)=9(640-k)

6160-11k=5760-9k

6160-5760=11k-9k

400=2k

200=k


Hence final answer is prices of their phones should decrease by 200 in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

Answer:

  R''(2, 1), S''(-1, 7), T''(2, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation 90° CCW is accomplished by the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-y, x)

Translation 3 left and 8 up is accomplished by the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (x -3, y +8)

Together, the two transformations give ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-y -3, x +8)

So your transformed points are ...

  R(-7, -5) ⇒ R''(-(-5)-3, -7+8) = R''(2, 1)

  S(-1, -2) ⇒ S''(-(-2)-3), -1+8) = S''(-1, 7)

  T(-1, -5) ⇒ T''(-(-5)-3, -1+8) = T''(2, 7)
