Equation  1):

You want to buy something that costs $166.66, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

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

Second, find out what 25% of $166.66 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $166.66, like this:  

0.250 x $166.66 = $41.67.

So for this sale, you'll save $41.67 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$166.66 - $41.67 = $125.00.

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 $166.66 = $125.00.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $125.00.





Equation 2:)

You want to buy something that costs $125, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

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

Second, find out what 25% of $125 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $125, like this:  

0.250 x $125 = $31.25.

So for this sale, you'll save $31.25 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$125 - $31.25 = $93.75.  

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 $125 = $93.75.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $93.75.




Hope that helps!!!                                                     : )

Solve the inequality
Naily [24]

Answer:

16(1/4x-1/2)>24-2x

Use the distributive property on the left side:

4x -8 > 24-2x

Add 2x to each side:

6x -8 > 24

Add 8 to each side:

6x >32

Divide both sides by 6:

x > 32/6 reduces to 16/3
