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!!!                                                     : )

C=2(3.14)(6\ in)\\C=12\ in(3.14)\\C=37.68\ in^

7^16/7^12=7^-18/? what is the missing denominator
creativ13 [48]
\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\&#10;a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}&#10;\qquad \qquad&#10;\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;a^{{{  n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{  n}}}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{7^{16}}{7^{12}}=\cfrac{7^{-18}}{x}\implies x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{12}\cdot 7^{-18}\implies x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{12-18}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{-6}\implies x=\cfrac{7^{-6}}{7^{16}}\implies x=\cfrac{7^{-6}\cdot 7^{-16}}{1}\implies x=7^{-6-16}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{x=7^{-22}}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{7^{22}}
