$1.40 - price from a supplier = 100%
100% + 80% = 180% = 1,8 - the retail price
1,40 * 1,8 = $2,52 - the retail price
100% - 25% = 75% = 0,75 - on sale for 25% off
2,52 * 0,75 = $1,89 - the sale price.
So n=8 and those are all the steps
Since the denominators are the same, just subtract the numerators.
The answer is 3/10.
Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.
Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5
Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true
