Question

(b) use the proportion from part (a) to find the reduction in price. do not round any computations.
reduction in price: $
(c) what was the price of the toy during the sale? do not round any computations.
price during the sale: $
values:
35
100
126
x

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

From the values (35, 100, 126, \( x \)), the proportion is \(\frac{35}{100}=\frac{x}{126}\) (assuming part (a) was a proportion related to percentage reduction, say 35% reduction as 35/100, and we need to find reduction for 126).

Step2: Solve for \( x \) (reduction)

Cross - multiply: \( 100x = 35\times126 \). Then \( x=\frac{35\times126}{100}=\frac{4410}{100} = 44.1 \). So reduction in price is $44.1.

Step3: Find sale price

Original price is $126, sale price = original price - reduction = \( 126 - 44.1=81.9 \).

Answer:

(b) Reduction in price: $44.1
(c) Price during the sale: $81.9
