In this context, you would be making a equation using the format: y=mx+b

M being your rate of change

X being the month

B being the starting number

Beverly is LOSING 4 pounds a month, so she would be decreasing by 4, or in other words, -4. That would be your M value

Beverly starts at 160, so that would be your B value

Your equation would look like this:

y= -4x+160

Your answer would be B. y = -4x +160

A) is not the answer because you can't be -160 pounds

C) is not the answer because the 1 is not part of the text.

D) is not the answer because 160 has to be used in the equation in order for it to make sense, you don't start at 0 pounds.

The answer is B) or y = -4x + 160


If her initial weight is 160 pounds, then you must subtract 4x, representing how much weight she lost over time, to find her current weight y


But, since y = 160 – 4x isn't an option, we can reverse to negatives as long as you change the addition/subtraction sign


So, subtracting positive 4x is the same as adding -4x


Therefore, y = 160 – 4x is the same as y = -4x + 160

Answer:

$690.86

Step-by-step explanation:

100% from the original cost is: 2 x 863.57 = $1,727.14

40/100 = X/1727.14 (40 percent is what of 1,727.40) (%/100 = is/of)

(40 * 1,727.14) / 100 = $ 690.86
