Well, he paid 20.51 total, but the retail price is just 18.99, so he ended up paying 20.51 - 18.99 extra, or 1.52.

so, if we take 18.99 to be the 100%, how much is 1.52 in percentage off of it?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
18.99&100\\
1.52&t
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{18.99}{1.52}=\cfrac{100}{t}\implies t=\cfrac{1.52\cdot 100}{18.99}

inna [77]
If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:

(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11

Then, solve:

2x + 16 = x - 11

2x = x -27

x = -27

This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.

-27 + 8 = -19

-19 x 2 = -38

-38 is 11 less than -27.

Hope this helps :)
