Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
1/5
Discussion:
$12000 * (1/5) = $2400
$12000 * ( 1/10) = $1200
As 2400 > 1200, (1/5) is the best way to go

Answer: the most straight-forward way to prove this is to plug -5 in the equation as the value of x. If the the equality holds, it is proven that x=-5:
3x+1=-14 | use x=-5
3(-5)+1=-14
-15+1=-14
-14=-14 --> equality holds --> x=-5 is a solution to 3x+1=-14
