I think 6 is the answer. Hopefully I answered your question
Answer:
25 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the difference you need to substract one from another
110-85=25 inches
This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?
Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form
No Alan did not break even
Alan incured a loss of 6.25 %
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Alan bought two bikes
He sold one to Beth for $300 taking a 25% loss
He also sold one to Greta for $300 making a 25% profit
When a person sells two similar items, one at a gain of say x%, and the other at a loss of x%, then the seller always incurs a loss
Which is given as:

Here, x = 25

Thus the loss percentage is 6.25 %
