First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.
Second, find out what 25% of $100 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.250 by the item's cost $100, like this:
0.250 x $100 = $25.00.
So for this sale, you'll save $25.00 on this item.
This means, the cost of the item to you is
$100 - $25.00 = $75.00.
Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).
Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?
0.750 x $100 = $75.00.
Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $75.00.
Hope this helps you on your assignment! :)
Equation of a line:

m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.

c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:

so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12,
<u>7</u>) and (0, <u>
1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>
12</u>, 7) and (<u>
0</u>, 1)- This gives:



To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:

When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
okey
you needed the sum or division?
The answer would be 2 months because she has read 4 books and they read 2 a month so, 2 months.
