Hello! So a mixed number is being subtracted by an improper fraction. To find the difference between the two numbers, we will subtract. It would be set up as 4 5/8 - 3 7/8. First off, because 5/8 is less than 7/8, we add 8/8 to 5/8 and turn 4 into 3. That makes the problem 3 13/8 - 3 7/8. Now, let's subtract. 3 13/8 - 3 7/8 is 6/8 or 3/4 in simplest form. There. Tara read 3/4 more pages of the arts section than the sports section.

Create an item with a selling price over $100 a discount of 25% and tax is 9%
Lana71 [14]

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $100 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.250 by the item's cost $100, like this:

0.250 x $100 = $25.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $25.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

$100 - $25.00 = $75.00.

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?

0.750 x $100 = $75.00.

Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $75.00.

Hope this helps you on your assignment! :)
