Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!
Answer:
D) y=-4x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-2-6)/(1-(-1))
m=-8/(1+1)
m=-8/2
m=-4
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-6=-4(x-(-1))
y-6=-4(x+1)
y=-4x-4+6
y=-4x+2
Hmmmm is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.
say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.
then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.
so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?
(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.
