I'm assuming that % means $:
8.95*2 = 17.9
23.65 - 17.9 = 5.74
The cost of the paint was $5.74
For the first one, you have to convert the fractions to an improper fraction. To do that you need to multiply the bottom denominator number (3) by the whole number (1) then you need to add the numinator, so 3x1+2= 5. You have to keep the denominator so 1 2/3 is equal to 5/3. Then do the same to 2 1/5, and you get 11/5. Now you have to find a common denominator, that's basically the smallest number that both numbers can go Into, the lowest common denominator for 3 and 5 is 15. So 3x5= 15, so we have to multiply the top number by 5 which is 25. So 5/3 is equal to 25/15, then 5x3= 15, so you need to multiply 11 by 3 which is 33. So 11/5 is equal to 33/15. Then you add them. Add the numinators (25+33=58. Then you keep the denominator 15. So when u add it it's 58/15 then you need to simplify that and you get 3 13/15.
The second one you turn them into improper fractions like I told you how to before (multiply the bottom number by the whole number then add he top number, then add he same denominator.) do that for both. Then you line them right next to each other and multiply across. (I just realized that they were the same number so they are equal to 5/3 and 11/5)
Then you do 5x11 and you get 55 then do 3x5 and you get 15. 55/15 is your answer, but you need to simplify it, you need to divide 55 by 15, (not all the way just the first number) so you do 15x3 and that's 45, then you subtract that from 55, and you get 10, so then you take your denominator (15) and you answer is 3 10/15. But when you simplify it it's 3 and 2/3
Hope I helped sorry it's so long and sorry for any typos it's so long I didn't go back and check
Answer:
x = 4.167
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 14 = 2x + 11 add 14 to 14
8x = 2x + 25 subtract 2x to 2x and 8x
6x = 25 divide by 6
x= 4.167 repeating
The answer would be $56
The reason is you would do 80*.3(30% in decimal form) which would equal 24
24 is what is being taken off of the normal cost.
So you would then do 80-24 which would equal $56.
