Answer:
Both are correct with respect to the final purchase price.
Lisa is correct, in terms of appropriate accounting procedure
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount paid by Lisa's method and by Ross's method will be the same. The multiplication factors in each case are (1-0.15) = 0.85 and (1 +0.08) = 1.08. The commutative property of multiplication tells you the product is the same, regardless of the order in which the factors are applied.
The order of application of tax and discount does not matter for the final price.

As a practical matter, Lisa is correct. The store will owe sales tax to the government based on the net sales of the store. If the cash register records the sale as $495, then extra accounting steps are required so the store can avoid paying tax on that amount. However, if the cash register records the sale as 15% less than $495, the tax paid to the government is easily justified.

The attachment shows the intermediate computed values in both cases. The final value is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-3
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Y intercep is the point where the line intercepts the y axis. That is 3 in this graph.
slope. Choose two points. For the sake of explainin, I am choosing
(-3,1)
and (0,3). That’s the y intercept!!
The slope is the rate of increase. We have to measure it like we do with stairs. The rise divided by the run
the rise is 2. See the picture. The run is 3(change in x) the x increases by 3 between 2 integer points while the y changes by 3(change in y —>3 minus 1)
Rise= 3
run =2
Slope=rise/run=3/2
