Suppose you go shopping for a new futon bed for your room. The model you really like happens to be on sale for $425. It's original price is $500. What percent of the original price will you save if you purchase it?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

What you are asking is to fill in the blank in the following sentence.

_______ % off this imported futon.

Solution

500 x/100 = 425       Divide the left by 100

5x = 425                    Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 425/5             Simplify

x = 85

That is not the answer. That is the % paid.

The reduction is 100% - 85% = 15%

So your blank would contain 15%

Check

15% of 500 = 15/100 * 500 = 75 which is what they the store is offering you off.

Answers

ANSWER:  

The slope of the given equation is -2 and a point on the given line is (-1, 3)

SOLUTION:

Given, linear equation in two variables is y – 3 = -2(x + 1) ----- eqn (1)

We need to find the slope of the given equation and a point through which the given line passes.

Given equation is in the form of point slope form  .i.e \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{y}_(1)=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{x}_(1)\right) --- eqn 2

where,"m" is the slope of the line

\left(\mathrm{x}_(1), \mathrm{y}_(1)\right) is point on that line.

Now, by comparing (1) and (2)

m = -2

x_(1)=-1

y_(1)=3

so, the slope of the given equation is -2  and a point on the given line is (-1, 3)

Answer: slope: − 2

y-intercept: ( 0 , 1 )

x y 0 1 1 − 1

Step-by-step explanation: Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept, or two points.

Ian's science book has 20 fewer pages than his math book. Ian's science book has 250 pages. Which equation can be used to calculate how many pages Ian's math book has? Let the variable p stand for the number of pages in the math book. A. 250 – 20 = p B. 250 = p + 20 C. 20 – p = 250 D. 250 = p – 20

Answers

the answer is simply C. 20-p=250
the math book would have 270 pages so the equation is the letter B.
