Answer:
38 is the correct solution
Add 3 to both sides, then add 2m
Then divide 4 on both sides.
Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.
17/10 is what ur looking for
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
so the socket set has a 40% off, what is 40% of 36? well, is just (40/100) * 36, or 14.4, that's the discount, so the sale price is 36 - 14.4, or 21.6.
plus the 8.25% taxation, what is 8.25% of 21.6? well, is just (8.25/100) * 21.6, or 1.782.
so the total price is 21.6 + 1.782, or 23.382, or about 23 bucks and 38 cents.
