Answer:

the original price is $28.57

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discount is 30% then the amount paid is 70% of the original price. Sally paid $20, it is the discounted price, equivalent to 70%.

We need to divide $20 by 70% to get the original price or the 100%.

$20 / 70% = $28.57 original price.

Since the handbag was has discount of 30%, we multiply the original price with the 30% to get the discount value.

$28.57 * 30% = $8.57 discount

To check: deduct the discount from the original price to get the discounted price.

$28.57 - $8.57 = $20

The chef will be able to prepare 3 servings of pasta because if you take one away from a whole number you have 9/10ths so you do that process again you have 2 servings but, you have 2 tenths left over so you add that to the 7 tenths.

Hope this helps :)

Starting from y-intercept of [0, 2], you can either move two blocks north over 3 blocks west or two blocks south over three blocks east. Either way, you will still get this line because this is a negative rate of change [slope].
