Decreased by: ___ -
difference: (___ - ___)
27 - (x - 3) is an accurate model of this situation.
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).
It's 192, I'm pretty sure. I hope that you get this right! :^)
Answer: the total cost of the nightstand is $22
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the night stand is $50. If the original price of the night stand was marked down by 60%, it means that the amount of money by which it was reduced would be
60/100 × 50 = 0.6 × 50 = 30
The new selling price would be
50 - 30 = $20
If she paid 10% sales tax,the amount of tax paid would be
10/100 × 20 = 0.1 × 20 = 2
Therefore, the total cost of the nightstand would be
20 + 2 = $22
