William paid $11.70 for the pomegranates because 17% of 10 is 1.7. When you add that back to your original $10, you get $11.70.
The slope of the line is -3/4
6.0 because if it is 0-4, you round down and 5-9, round up
The common difference is 1 1/3
40-1 1/3= 38 2/3
38 2/3-1 1/3=37 1/3
37 1/3-1 1/3=36
Therefore the missing number is 38 2/3
