So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87
B. THE 2 IN THE TENTHS PLACE IS 10 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE 2 IN THE HUNDREDTHS PLACE.
2 2 . 2 2 2
tens ones decimal point tenths hundredths thousandths
2 in the tenths place = 0.20
2 in the hundredths place = 0.02
0.02 x 10 = 0.20
Answer:
The value of <em>x</em> is equal to 1, written as <em>x</em> = 1.

Functions
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
g(x) = 5x + 4
g(x) = 9
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u>
- Substitute in function value: 9 = 5x + 4
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4 on both sides: 5 = 5x
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 5 on both sides: 1 = x
- Rewrite: x = 1
∴ when the function g(x) equals 9, the value of <em>x</em> that makes the function true would be <em>x</em> = 1.
