In one of his orchards, a farmer harvested 270 apples but realized that 80 of them were unfit for consumption because they were either overripe or ruined by insects. what percentage of apples were actually good for consumption?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the percentage of apples  that were actually good for consumption.

You know that total number of apples the farmer harvested was 270 apples.  

Then, you can identify that 270 apples represents the

You know that 80 of them were unfit for consumption, so the number of apples  that were good for consumption was:

Then, you can set up the  following proportion in order to find the percentage of apples  that were actually good for consumption:

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

the final price would be 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

39.59 minus 25% equals 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
