Answer: p - 0.2p
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Original Price of tennis racket = p
Mark down or discount on original price = 20% of original price = (20/100) × p = 0.2p
Amount after discount = Amount paid by Natasha
Amount after discount = Original price - Discount
Amount after discount = p - 0.2p
Amount paid by Natasha = p - 0.2p
This situation can be represented by
y = 33x + 223
y = 32x + 239
I still like substitution, so let’s plug in 33x + 223 into the second equation
33x + 223 = 32x + 239
Move the terms into appropriate sides
33x - 32x = 239 - 223
Combine like terms
x = 16
Then plug in x for any equation
y = 32(16) + 239
y = 751
Erin will have to swim 16 laps for a total of 751 meters
Now, if x = 300 miles, then
y= 1/20*300 + 35
y = 15 + 35
y = 50, therefore it would cost $50.00 to drive the rental car 300 miles.
