36% in decimal from it .36
172.80 + .36 = 173.16
So original price was 173.16

Answer:

$270

Step-by-step explanation:

So Big G gets a great deal on a sofa...$172.80...the original price has to be higher, right? He (? She?) got 36% off...This means that they DID NOT pay 36%, but they DID pay 64% (bc 36 + 64 = 100%)

SO, you need to change percents to decimals to work with them in an equation. Let p be the original price. Original price times 64% will equal the sale price.

.64p = 172.80

DIVIDE BY .64

p = 270

You can check it using the 36% ---

270 × .36 = 97.2

The discount is $97.20

270 - 97.20 = 172.80✅

The original price for Goran's sofa was $270.00

Answer:

B.In slope-intercept form, the slope is −79.These values are A and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is −AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is being moved to the other side of the equation so it has to be negative and is multiplied by B since the y value has to be divided to equal the base of y not 9y but y.
