Hakeem went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 40% discount. What number should he multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price he would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

60% or 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A discount simply means the amount that is deducted from the normal cost of a good or service.

In the question above, the store was offering 40% as discount, this means that he'll only pay 60% of the price of the good. Note that (100% - 40% = 60%).

Therefore, the number that he should multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price he would have to pay will be 60% = 0.6.

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
