<h3>Answer:  $59.25</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

There are two approaches

Method 1

25% of 79 = 0.25*79 = 19.75

Mary saves $19.75 and the price before tax is 79 - 19.75 = 59.25

-----------------------------

Method 2

She saves 25% so she must pay the remaining 75%

75% of 79 = 0.75*79 = 59.25

This is a slight shortcut, and it's very useful when it comes to chaining multiple discounts together.

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving?
Sati [7]
Ok...

5.6 = 56/10 = 560/100

1.1 = 11/10 = 110/100

0.12 = 12/100

--------------

\frac { 560 }{ 100 } j-\frac { 12 }{ 100 } =4+\frac { 110 }{ 100 } j\\ \\ \\ 100\times \left( \frac { 560 }{ 100 } j-\frac { 12 }{ 100 }  \right) =\left( 4+\frac { 110 }{ 100 } j \right) \times 100\\ \\ 560j-12=400+110j\\ \\ 560j-110j=400+12\\ \\ 450j=412\\ \\ j=\frac { 412 }{ 450 }

So, the answer is: 100

You could multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to get the value of (j) quickly.
