Following a 5% sale discount, the price of an item changed to $38.00. what was the original price of the item?

The item price =x
when there's a 5% discount, the new price is 95% of x

95/100 x =38
95/100x*100/95 = 38*100/95
x=40

(6,1)(5,4)slope = (4 - 1) / (5 - 6) = 3/-1 = -3y = mx + bslope(m) = -3use either of ur , = 6 and y = 1now sub and find b, the y int1 = -3(6) + b1 = -18 + b1 + 18 = b19 = bso ur equation is : y = -3x + we need it in standard formy = -3x + 3x to both sides3x + y = 19 < == standard form
