Belvedere goes to the store and buys a soccer ball for $50. The store
is running a discount of 10%. What is the price of the soccer ball after
the discount?

$45 after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

           $50 is the total amount and make the 10% a decimal

x(100) = 50(10)

100 = 500

100 ÷ 500

x = 5     <-- We have to subtract this amount from the total

$50 - $5 = $45 <-- total after the discount

Hope this helps!!

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
