The price of a video game increases by 20%, then decreases by 10%. If the final price is $46.98,
what was the original price?

The original price was $43.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original price of a video game

we know that

1) The price of a video game increases by 20%

so

The final price is equal to the original price multiplied by 1.20

so

2) The price of a video game decreases by 10%

so

The final price is equal to the price at this moment multiplied by 0.90

so

we have that

solve for x

the image of (6, 9) under a dilation is (4, 6). the scale factor is

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
