One can take the price of the item before the discount is applied and subtract that from  the percentage off and get the cost of the item. 

I find this is the most effective way. 

another method could be if one turned the percentage into a decimal it could be subtracted from the cost of the item.

Answer:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

I prefer the second, as it is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

Say y is the amount you pay after the discount, and x is the original price, the calculation will look like this:

The value of the discount is 30% of x, which is equal to 0.3x.

subtract that from the original value to find y:

<em>y = x - 0.3x</em>

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

The amount left over after subtraction thirty % is 70%

Thus,

<em>y = 0.7 x</em>

The graph of a proportional relationship will always be a straight line that passes through the origin. Why?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Being proportional between two entities, refers to the 'Constant of Proportionality' that would be fixed between them which establishes a relationship between them when multiplied or divided.

If we considered it on a graph, the 'Constant Of Proportionality' may take any real values between the coordinate pairs x and y [x,y]. As even 0 is a real number, it will surely be a constant of proportionality when multiplied since its product would result in itself (0). Hence, both x and y turns 0.

As the coordinates of the origin are always (0,0), the graph  (Or the slope) would surely pass through the origin.

Example :

If we consider a graph such that x=y.

And if we multiply or divide any real number (a) between them.

ax=ay

As a is a variable, and can take the value of 0, the graph can pass through the origin as x and y nullify becoming the coordinates of the origin.

Which unit is acceleration measured in?<br> A. m<br> B. m/h<br> C. m/s<br> D. m/s²
GrogVix [38]
Acceleration is how fast the velosity is changing: it's the rate of change of velocity per second. So that means one needs to divide velocity per time, and the unit will then be meters per second (velocity) per second:
