Can someone please teach me how to to this Item: $30 Discount: 15%

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure, so the total of the

Item:

30 Dollars ($)

and the discount price is

15 percent (%)

So 30 times 0.15 because 30 is the price in total and 0.15 is the percentage but in a decimal form.

30 times 0.15 equals 4.5

4.5 is the amount that 15 % equals.

30 minus (-) 4.5 because once again the total is 30 and since we have a discount price then we minus (-) the discount price by the total and you get

A total with the discount price as 25.5 Dollars or $25.5

Hope this helps ;)

boyakko [2]

Answer:

It will take 12 hours to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Tap A fills a tank in 4 hours. It means each hour it fills 1/4 of the tank.

Tap B fills the tank in 3 hours. Each hour it fills 1/3 of the tank.

Tap C empties the tank when full in 2 hours. Each hour it empties 1/2 of the tank.

Each hour, the tank gets filled by:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\displaystyle \frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12}-\frac{6}{12}=\frac{3+4-6}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$

Since the tank fills 1/12 of its capacity in one hour, it follows that it will take 12 hours to fill the tank
