which is a step in the process of calculating successive discounts of 8% and 10% on a $50 item?
a. take 2% of $50
b. take 8% of $46
take 10% of $46
d. take 18% of $50
select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

B

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 8%= 50 x 0.08 = 4

10%= 50 x 0.1 = 5

5+4=9

50-9 = $41

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
