Sarah pays a 20% deposit for a new tv and then an extra $96. what’s the total cost?

A deposit (in this case) is a portion of the TV paid in advance - 20% of the total cost. That means that the 96$ makes up the remaining 80% of the total cost, which I'll represent as x. From here, we can set up an equation to find the total cost x, since we have a relation to form it on - the fact that 80% of x is equal to 96$.

The total cost of the TV is 120 dollars.

because they could drop even lower..

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
