Answer:
The original price is Rs. 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be Rs.x
x+8% of x=54
x+(8/100)*x=54
x+8x/100=54
(100x+8x)/100=54
108x/100=54
x=54* 100/108
x=50.
Let the initial price be x.
<u>We have:</u>
<u>Rewrite it as below and solve for x:</u>
a percent is a variable of proportionality describing the part of the whole.
Find the slope:
(-19 - 11) / (-8 - 2) = (-30/-10) = 3
Find the y intercept:
y = mx + b
11 = 3(2) + b
b= 5
So equation is:
y = 3x + 5
The answer is 2/71
