HELPP PLEASE FAST!! a store has televisions on sale for 20% off the original price. The original price of a television is 150 before the sale what will be the sale price of the television set

Method 1: A pure algebraic approach

The unknown in this problem is the percent of decrease. A percent of decrease is the percentage of the original price that was deducted from the original price to obtain the sale price. We could write a "word equation" for this process like this:

original price - (percent of decrease)(original price) = sale price

Since the percent of decrease is the unknown in this problem, we'll call the percent of decrease x%.

Here's what we know so far:

The original price was $200

The sale price was $170

The percent of increase was x%

Putting this information in our word equation gives us an algebraic equation:

200 - (x%)(200) = 170

What do we do with the percent sign in this equation? "Percent" means "out of 100", so x% means x out of 100, or . Now we have this:

200 - (200) = 170

Now we'll solve our equation:

200 - (200) = 170

200 - 2x = 170

-2x = -30

x = 15

So the percent of decrease is 15%

Method 2: A method involving pure arithmetic.

If we know the original price and the sale price, we can find the percent of decrease in two steps:

Find the amount of decrease

Divide the amount of decrease by the original amount

This will give us the percent of decrease (written as a decimal number). We can then write the decimal as an equivalent percent to find our final answer.

Let's use method 2 on the same problem:

Frank bought a new television set on sale. If the TV's original price was $200 and Frank paid $170 for the TV, what was the percent of decrease?

First, let's find the amount of decrease:

Amount of decrease = 200 - 170 = 30

So the price decreased by $30.

Next, we'll find the percent of decrease, and rewrite the decimal answer as a percent:

Percent of decrease =  = = .15 = 15%

So the percent of decrease is 15%

Before we leave the problem, let's check our

Original price = $200

Price reduced by 15% of original price = 200(.15) = $30

Sale price would then be = $200 - $30 = $170

Our answer checks. We're done!    Me not know if correct.

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
