Idon’t get this lesson so might need

Explanation:

The variable b is the placeholder for the original price, aka price before discount.

We discount by 25% meaning we don't pay that 25% but instead pay the remaining 75%

Therefore the expression 0.75*b represents the final price after the discount. We're told this price is $1.50 so that is how I'm getting the answer to be 1.50 = 0.75b

Extra info:

To solve this equation for b, you would divide both sides by 0.75 to undo the multiplication that is happening.

1.50 = 0.75b

1.50/0.75 = 0.75b/0.75 dividing both sides by 0.75

2.00 = b

b = 2.00

So the original price before discount was $2.00; note how 25% of this is 0.25*2.00 = 0.50 which is the amount we save and the amount we have left is 2.00 - 0.50 = 1.50 which is the proper price after discount we want.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
