Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price
Take the first discount
x - 18 percent
x - .18x = new price
x( 1-.18)
x ( .82) = new price
Now we take a 20 percent discount
This is on the discounted price, use .82x
.82x - 20 percent= 2nd discounted price
.82x - .20(.82x)
.82x -.164x
.656x= 2nd discounted price
.656x = 328
Divide each side by.656
.656x/.656 = 328/.656
x =500
The original price was 500
We need to see the second step of the proof, so we know what needs to be justified. It would also be nice to see the list of answer choices. I'll never understand how someone who can't answer the question and has to ask someone else can then go ahead and decide that the person helping him only needs to see parts of the question.
Answer:
Use the formula change in y divided by change in x to get your answer
