I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
A=pq divided by 2.

Answer:
C. y = ½x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for a line in slope-intercept form is given as y = mx + b
So, we need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of the line given.
m = ∆y/∆x
Using two points on the line, (0, 4) and (-2, 3),
Slope (m) = (3 - 4)/(-2 - 0)
m = -1/-2
m = ½
y-intercept (b) = 4, this is where the line intercepts the y-axis.
To write the equation, substitute m = ½ and b = 4 into y = mx + b
Thus:
y = ½x + 4
