Question (1):
Price last week = $6.00
Price this week = $7.20
Increased = $7.20 - $6.00 = $1.20
Answer : Percentage increased = $1.20/$6.00 x 100 = 20%
Question (2):
Original Price = $90
Marked down = 35% of $90 = 0.35 x 90 = $31.50
Price after marked down = $90 - $31.50 = $58.50
Answer: Lilly will pay $58.50 for the football cleats.
Set the two values equal to each other with 18x-2=12x+2 and then plug it in to the equation and solve
The answers are:
<span>ƒ(x) = x - .15x
</span><span>Sale = Original - .15(Original)
</span><span>y = .85x
Let sale price be f(x) and x be the original price. Discount was 15% = 0.15
f(x) = x - 0.15x
If f(x) is sale and x is the original, then:
</span><span>Sale = Original - .15(Original)
Let sale price be y and original price x:
y = x - 0.15x
y = 1 * x - 0.15 * x
y = (1 - 0.15) * x
y = 0.85x</span>
