Atelescope costs $126 with a 30% discount. what was the original price?

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost of the telescope with the 30% discount is $126 then $126 is 70% of the original price. Remember 100-30=70. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(70) = 126(100)

70x = 12600

x= $180

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
