multiply 280 by 0.95

280x0.95=266

subtract 266 from 280

280-266= 14

280 decreased by 95%=14

I understand this question is really easy but the answer I found isn't one of the options and I have spent 30 minutes on this as

Virty [35]

Rose 40%
original=100%, now it is 140%

140% of original=now
140% of orignal=350
1.4 of original=350
divide both sides by 1.4
original=250

answer is C
other way

350/140=x/100
35/14=x/100
times both sides by 1400
3500=14x
divie both sides by 14
250=x

C is answer

Place (dlick and drag) one option from each of the lists below Into Its corresponding box to

earnstyle [38]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}x+5\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{-1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{-1}\implies 3}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 3 and passes through (1 , 10)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{10}=\stackrel{m}{3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1}) \\\\\\ y-10=3x-3\implies y=3x+7$
