Answer:
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of this as converting a fraction. 28/40 to x/100. You do this because in the situation, 40 is 100 percent of the price. So 28 is <em>x</em> percent of 100.
You multiply 40 by 2.5 to get to 100, so multiply 28 by the same number to get x. 28 * 2.5 = 70.
So 28 is 70 percent of 40. But the question is asking by what percentage it is <em>discounted. </em>If it's now selling for 70%, it has been discounted 30%. So the answer is 30%
Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:
When you solve the equation you will do parentheses first (10+2) which equals 12 then you carry everything down. Next you will multiply 3 x 12 to get 36 then you carry the 20 and 2 down. Next you will multiply 20 by 2 to get 40 and then add 36 + 40 to get 76.
3(10+2) +20 x 2
3(12) +20 x 2
36 + 20 x 2
36 + 40
76 : answer
