What are 2 methods for finding the sale price of an item that is discounted 30%?

1 answer:

6 0

First you have to know the price of item.

EX: Say a candy car costs $1.50.
The candy bar was marked down 30%.
$1.50 x 30/100 = $.45
The item will decrease $.45.
$1.50 - $.45 = $1.05

NOTES:

Use the equation y = mx + b where m is the unit rate and b is the one-time flat fee

1. Answer:

$\begin {array}{c||c|c|c|c}x&0&1&2&3\\ y&70.00&70.20&70.40&70.60\\\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

coffee maker costs $70 - this is a one-time flat fee

it costs $0.20 per cup of coffee - this is the unit rate

y = 0.20x + 70

y = 0.20(0) + 70 → y = 0.00 + 70 → y = 70.00

y = 0.20(1) + 70 → y = 0.20 + 70 → y = 70.20

y = 0.20(2) + 70 → y = 0.40 + 70 → y = 70.40

y = 0.20(3) + 70 → y = 0.60 + 70 → y = 70.40

2. Answer:

$\begin {array}{c||c|c|c|c}x&1&2&3&4\\ y&4.50&6.00&7.50&9.00\\\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

shoes costs $3.00 - this is a one-time flat fee

it costs $1.50 per game of bowling - this is the unit rate

y = 1.50x + 3.00

y = 1.50(1) + 3.00 → y = 1.50 + 3.00 → y = 4.50

y = 1.50(2) + 3.00 → y = 3.00 + 3.00 → y = 6.00

y = 1.50(3) + 3.00 → y = 4.50 + 3.00 → y = 7.50

y = 1.50(4) + 3.00 → y = 6.00 + 3.00 → y = 9.00

4. Answer: Gym A → y = 20x + 50 Gym B → y = 25x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: $m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Then choose ONE of the points and input the point (x₁, y₁) and slope (m) into the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) and solve for y.
