the price of an item originally priced at $24 was increased by 15%. what percentage decrease will restore it to its original price?

$20.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we find the value of 10%, so we do 24 ÷ 10 which equals to 2.4, then we find the halved value of 2.4, so we do 2.4 ÷ 2 which equals to 1.2. Then we add 2.4 and 1.2 together, which then gives us 3.6 as the number. We then subtract 3.6 from 24 which gives us 20.4, but we need in money terms so we change it to $20.40. Hope this helps.

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
