Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. So if the slope is -2/5...to find the negative reciprocal, " flip " the slope and change the sign.
So we flip -2/5 and we get 5/-2...and now we change the sign...and we get 5/2. So our perpendicular slope will be 5/2.

A shop has a sale that offers 20% off all prices.On the final day reduce all the sale prices by 25%.Linz buys a radio on the fin

Mrac [35]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = x

Sale = 20% off

20% / 100 = 0.2 to convert from a percent to a decimal

Sale = x - 20% of x = x - 0.2x = 0.8x

Sale price = y = 0.8x

Reduction of sale prices = 25% = 0.25

Reduction = y - 25% of y = y - 0.25y = 0.75y

End price in terms of original price (x):

0.75y = 0.75(0.8)x

= 0.6x

End price = 0.6 or 60% of original price, coming out to a 100-60 = 40% overall percentage reduction
