A = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

I received a letter from your competitor that mentions a savings of 15% over your prices. Can you match this offer? My current r

exis [7]

Given my current rate = $129.00 per month.

Savings of 15% over your prices.

Therefore, saving = 15% of $129.00 = 0.15 × 129.00 =$19.35.

Adjusted rate = current rate - saving = 129 - 19.35 = $109.65

Therefore, We can rewrite above expression as :

My current rate is $129.00 per month." Representative: "We will match any competitive offer. Your adjusted rate will be 109.65 dollars per month."
