Answer 2

@rishavraj I didn't want an answer! I've been saying that all day! Let me see if I can figure it out now. @Hero Will you make sure I explain it right since @rishavraj already gave me the answer? Please? :)

Answer 3

Your going to multiply 3 and s to get the amount you paid with out the discount.
And your discount of course is 25 so that leaves you with a bill of 80 dollars? @Hero

Answer 4

(rate) times (variable) plus (starting value) = (total)

Answer 5

@Hero does that show you that I understand it enough? :)

Answer 6

yes, that explanation is well done :)

Answer 7

@CrazyCountryGirl hasn't confirmed which answer choice she picked. Everyone says "Yes it is correct" but yet she never mentioned which choice she picked to begin with.

Answer 8

Please do not blurt out what you think she meant

Answer 9

Let her come back here to confirm it for herself

Answer 11

Oh, sorry I meant be I thought I put that with my explanation.

Answer 12

You shouldn't assume we know what you meant

Answer 13

be, psh sorry I meant B. Also I didn't assume I thought I put it in my explanation.

Answer 14

I understand. You mean you thought you already expressed the correct result in your explanation. Yes B is correct. The only reason why I wanted to confirm is because you have the arrow pointed at A in the question you posted.

Answer 15

her explanation was following a comment that gave the answer as B
therefore giving context to the her explanation
but having being told to not give direct answers, the user deleted their comment
leaving her explanation confusing out of context like that...

Answer 16

I see. The `ASKER` is allowed to state what they believe the answer is. However the `HELPER` is not allowed to give the answer.
