Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the shorts.

The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is

20/100 × x = 0.2x

The price of the shorts would be

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is

5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x

The final cost of the shorts would be

0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x

Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that

0.84x = 21

x = 21/0.84

x = 25

Can someone answer this for me
ladessa [460]

The linear equation in standard form is:

6x - 7y = -11

Which is the last option.

<h3>How to get the equation of the line?</h3>

The line in slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

We can see that the line passes through the points (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2), then the slope is:

a = \frac{2 - (-1)}{1/2 - (-3)}  = \frac{3}{3.5}  = \frac{6}{7}

Then we can write:

y = (6/7)*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the first point. It means that when x = -3, the value of y is -1, then we get:

-1 = (6/7)*-3 + b

-1 + 18/7 = b

-7/7 + 18/7 = b

11/7 = b

Then the equation is:

y = (6/7)*x + 11/7

If we multiply both sides by 7 we get:

7y = 6x + 11

Now we move the term with "x" to the left:

7y - 6x = 11

That is the line in standard form.

If we multiply both sides by -1, we get the last option:

6x - 7y = -11

2 Estimate the weight of 15 containers of strawberries at<br> Marty's Market in problem 1.
GalinKa [24]

Answer: The point which represents the cost of 4 pints is:

                     (4,8)        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

A market sells strawberries for $2.00 per pint.

Then, cost of 4 pints= $ 4×2.00

                                = $8.00

The point on the x coordinate represents number of pints

and the point on the y coordinate represents the cost in dollars

Hence, the point which represents the cost of 4 pints is:  (4,8)
