Part 1: Worst Buy, a local electronics store, advertises a sale price of 25% off all televisions 42" or bigger. Model the sales price (original price minus discount) of those televisions, y, as a function of the regular price of the tv, x.

Part 2:

If the regular price of a 60" television is $1000, use the equation you came up with in part 1 to find the sales price of the item.

Part 1 : y = 0.75x

Part 2 : $750

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Worst Buy, a local electronics store, advertises a sale price of 25% off all televisions 42" or bigger. Model the sales price (original price minus discount) of those televisions, y, as a function of the regular price of the tv, x.

Let y be the sales price of the tv and x its regular price. Since its sales price = regular price - discount, and our discount is 25% of the sales price, that is 0.25x, we have

sales price = regular price - discount

y = x - 0.25x

y = 0.75x

Part 2:  If the regular price of a 60" television is $1000, use the equation you came up with in part 1 to find the sales price of the item

Since the sales price, y = 0.75x,and x = regular price = $1000,

substituting x into y, we have

y = 0.75x

y = 0.75($1000)

y = $750

d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
