Answer:

0.9 in the context represent the price of the ginger

It is called decreasing factor for the function because it decreases the price of the ginger

Explanation:

Original price of fresh ginger ale = G

Coupon = 10% off

The actual price paid = 100% - 10% of G

= 90% of G

= 90/100 × G

= 0.9 × G

= 0.9G

0.9 in the context represent the price of the ginger

It is called decreasing factor for the function because it decreases the price of the ginger
