Answer:

She was wrong in her analysis because the sales discount of 25% is the discount on the original cost of the dress and not the purchasing cost of the dress as explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

Purchasing cost price of the dress = £30

However, this cost (£30) was after a 25% Sales Discount        

It, therefore, implies that £30 is equal to 75% of the cost price

75% of the original cost price  = £30

100% of the original cost price = (30 x100%)/75%

   Original cost price                 = £40

Therefore the 25% discount / savings on the cost

                                                     = £ (40-30)

                                                      = £10    

She saved £10 by buying the dress at £30 instead of the original cost of £40

X = 2y − 4<br><br> 7x + 5y = −66
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Substitute 2y-1 for x in the second equation:

7x + 5y = -66

7(2y-4) + 5y = -66

then solve for y:

14y - 28 + 5y = -66

19y = -38

y = -2

Substitute -2 for y in the first equation:

x  = 2y - 4

x = 2(-2) - 4

x = -8

The lines intersect at (-8,-2)
