22/7 = 3.142857...

Let's see if we can beat this using a fraction with 113 as its denominator.

-------

3 x 120 = 360

-------

So, let's try out x = 360:

360/113 = 3.185.... (Too high)

How about x=350:

350/113 = 3.097... (Too low)

Let's try out x = 355:

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

--------

Let's now compare 22/7 and 355/113 to pi:

22/7 = 3.142857...

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

π = 3.141592654

-------

As we can see, 355/113 provides us with a better approximation of π. This means that x=355.

Identical sweaters are on sale in two different stores. The sale price in store A is 30% off the regular price of $25. The sale

30% off 25: multiply 25 by .30 to find 30%: 7.5. Now subtract that from the sales price: 25-7.5=17.5
Do the same for store B: .40•30=12. 30-12=18.
So store A is better by $.50 :) hope this helps :)
