S = sale price (in dollars)
p = sticker price (in dollars)
Note: the sticker price is what the customer pays after the discount
Another note: This is ignoring any taxes or other fees

We're told that the sale price is the result of taking 10% off the sticker price. This means...

sale price = (sticker price) - (10% of sticker price)
s = p - 0.10*p
s = 1*p - 0.10*p
s = (1 - 0.10)*p
s = (0.90)*p
s = 0.90*p

So the expression for the sale price is 0.90*p where p is the sticker price in dollars.

Note: this means that the sale price is 90% of the sticker price.

----------------------------------------

Now plug in the sticker price p = 80 to find the sale price s
s = 0.90*p
s = 0.90*80
s = 72

The sale price is $72 which is what the customer will pay (if we ignore any taxes or other fees).

5.2x-y=4.1 1.5x+y=6.7 how to solve this problem

MrRa [10]

Answer: x=1.6

y=4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

we will add both equations and you see that the y is getting cancelled

6.7x=10.8

x=10.8/6.7= 1.6

now in any equation we will replace x with 1.6

5.2(1.6)-y=4.1

8.3-y=4.1

-y= 4.1-8.3

-y=-4.2 multiply by -1

y=4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The square notation indicates 90 degrees.

90=(x+3)+(x-1)+(x+1)

90=3x+3

87=3x

et y represent the total cost of publishing a book (in dollars). Let x represent the number of copies of the book printed. Suppo

Mice21 [21]

The change in the total cost for each book printed is $10.

The cost to get started ( before any books are printed) is $1200

Step - by -step Explanation

What to find?

• The change in the total cost for each book printed.

• The cost to get started ( before any books are printed).

Given:

The given equation is 1200 + 10x = y

where x is the number of xopies of book printed and y is the total cost of publishing the book .

b) To obtain the cost to get started;

Substitute x = 0 into the given equation.

1200 + 10(0) = y

1200 = y

Hence, the cost to get started is $1200

a) To find the cost for each book;

Put x =1 in the given equation.

1200 + 10(1) = y

1210 =y

Change in cost for each book printed is 1210 - 1200 = 10

Hence, the change in the total cost for each book printed is $10.

Anyone know how to do this? If so plz help

bekas [8.4K]

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

3. Answer: Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

As the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. Opposite directions results in a negative slope.

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.
