Answer: original price = p

price after first 24% discount = .75p

he second 25% discount reduces the already reduced price to .75*.75p = .5625p

So, if .5625p = 16,

p = 16/.5625 = $28.44

check:

25% off $28.44 = $21.33

25% off $21.33 = $16.00

which function rule is represented by the tablex 0 1 2 3y 0 -7 -14 -21a y= 7xb y= -7xc y= x-8d y= 7x-14
salantis [7]

The answer is y = -7x

Expalnation

Two points on the table are (0,0) and (1,-7)

Change in y = -7-0 = -7

Change in x = 1-0 = 1

Slope m of the function = -7/1= -7

Using y= mx + c

Picking point (0,0), x = 0, y = 0

y = mx + c becomes

0 = -7(0) + c

0 = 0 + c

c= 0

Hence, the equation is y = -7x + 0

which is y = -7x

Option b is the correct answer
