Answer:
55 6/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! I can help you with this!
a. To find out how much Mary saved, we will have to subtract the sale price from the original price, and then add up the difference to find how much she saved. 62 - 48 is 14. 46 - 34 is 12. 14 + 12 = 26. Mary saved $26 by buying at the sale item price.
b. To find the amount of discount, we can write and solve a proportion, by setting it up like this: change/original = x/100. Change is the distance between two numbers and the original is the previous price. If you know about proportions, you cross multiply the values, and then divide each side by a number to isolate "x". If you solve each proportion correctly, here are your answers for each item:
Dress: ≈ 23% discount
Shoes: ≈ 26% discount
c. Okay. So when we add up the sales prices together, 48 + 34 is 82. In order to find the total amount with tax, we multiply the sale price, by (1 + r). In other words, add 1 to the rate in decimal form and multiply it by the total of the sales price. 82 * 106.5% (1.065) is 87.33. Mary paid a total of $87.33.
Answer:
The best to buy is Second one as you will get more profit from that
60%
If you take the 30% and divide from the 50% you get .6 multiply that by a 100 you get 60.
30/50=.60
.60x100=60
60%
