To find the percent increase you need to first find how much the price went up: 2.65 - 2.4 = .25 Now divide .25 by the original price.
Answer:
I believe its -35

negatives are opposites or positives lmk ig I'm wrong
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
The general line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
Here that's
(1 - - 5)(y - - 5) = (4 - -5)(x - - 5)
6(y+5)=9(x+5)
6y + 30 = 9x + 45
-15 = 9x - 6y
3x - 2y = -5
Answer: 3x - 2y = -5
We could put that in slope intercept form,
2y = 3x + 5
y = (3/2) x + 5/2
Answer: y = (3/2) x + 5/2
