Plug in the values of p and q where you see them in the equation:

-(2+4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the -1
(-2-4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the 2
(-4-8) / (-6) - Subtract what's inside the parenthesis
(-12) / (-6) - Divide
The answer is 2

The Candle Company is having its semiannual sale. All items are 40 percent off. If the original price of a candle basket is $120

Lilit [14]

An easy way to do this question is finding 40% of 120 then subtracting it from $120. This is done in a few ways, i use the unitary method:
120/100= 1% =1.2
x40 to find 40% = $48
120-48= 72
The sale price is 72

OR

multiply 120 by .6 to find the result with 40% taken away
