Answer:

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of laptop

Discount = 10%

Actual price paid = x - 10% of x

= x - .10x

= .90x

Cost of mouse = $13.99

Total amount paid = $621.49

Total amount paid = actual cost of laptop + Cost of mouse

621.49 = .90x + 13.99

621.49 - 13.99 = .90x

607.5 = .90x

x = 607.5 / .90

= 675

Original cost of the laptop = $675

I need help, how do you do this
adell [148]

Answer: So you are going to make an equation first.

Step-by-step explanation:

first we know that for the first 2 hours the snow fell at an inch an hour. so we are going to make our first plots ( I suggest using an online site like geogebra or desmos to start out with before plotting for your assingment)

our first plot is going to be at (1,1) or 1 over and 1 up. remember points are in the form of (x,y). then (2,2)

Now we see that it has changed  now there is no  new snow for 6 hours so you are going to have a flat line so its going to be (2,2) then its going to continue that way as (3,2),(4,2), (5,2) (6,2)(7,2)(8,2).

It starts snowing again and now we have a new thing to plot the snow is falling at a constant of 3 inches an hour for the next 5 hours so now we are going to plot hte points to get our points we are going add 3 inches to our current inches each new hour. so its going to be (9,(2+3)) which is (9,5) and continue on doing that so we will have the plots (10,8) (11,11) (12,14) (13,17). and now we connect our plots by creating segments so then you do that on your thing and youre set to go I hope this helps.
