To solve, set an equation:
472=0.8x
Divide both sides by 0.8
472/0.8=0.8x/0.8
x=590
Answer: The original price was $590
Divide the change by the initial number to get a fraction and multiply by 100% to get a percent. The percent you get will describe the change in area in the mathematical language of numbers.
The new cost would be 1661.175 if u want it rounded it would be 1661.18 because you would need to do 1444.5 x .15 and then add that to 1444.5
(0, 4) and (2, 0) are the coordinates
Y= 1/10x + 2/10 is what you are left with once the equation is simplified
