At a one-day sale, Alisha bought a skirt for $25. The next day, her friend Merideth bought the same skirt and found that it was marked up 30%. How much did Merideth pay for the skirt?

$32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the initial value was

$25

we want to solve for a 30% increase

let us calculate 30% of $25 first which is

30/100*25

=0.3*25

=$7.5

we then have to add this 7.5 to the initial cost

therefore the cost of the skirt Merideth pay

is=25+7.5

=$32.5

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
