Slope = (8 - 0)/(0 - 4) = -2
y intercept b = 8
y = mx + b where m = - 2 and b = 8
So equation y = -2x + 8
Answer
D. last one
y = -2x + 8
Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.
27-18=9 (difference between)
9/18=0.5 (9 as a percentage of original as a decimal)
0.5x100=50 (as a percentage)
50% increase
