Hey 17% discount on a watch saved a shopper $51. find the price of the watch before the discount

 To rephrase the question,
17% of what is $51?

Let me give you a short way or formula.
is/of = %/100

is = 51
0f = x
%= 17%

51/x = 17/100
51*100 = x*17
5100= 17x
5100/17= x

so x = 300

Discount =17%=51 $(given)
Let the price be=x
So formula is
Discount%/100 *actual price =discount (in$)
17/100*x=51
X=51*100/17
X=300$
Hence the price of the watch is 300$

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

Your answer should be “b” i truly hope i could ! good luck (:
