Question:

The grocery store has 20% off from the original price on cereal. The equation for finding the sale price would be y = x - (.20x). What is the sale price if the cereal cost $4.00?

Answer:

The sales price is $3.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = Sales\ Price[/tex]

[tex]x = Cost[/tex]

[tex]y = x - (0.20x)[/tex]

Required

Determine y when x = 4.00

To do this, we simply substitute 4.00 for x in [tex]y = x - (0.20x)[/tex]

[tex]y = 4.00 - (0.20 * 4.00)[/tex]

[tex]y = 4.00 - 0.80[/tex]

[tex]y = 3.20[/tex]

Hence, the sales price is $3.20
