Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did it was doing 12/20 to find what percentage of 12 is 20. I found out that was 60%, which means that the sweater's price was reduced by 40%. However, there are other ways of doing this.

A better way is solving for percentage is: initial value - final value / initial value

|20-12|/20 = 0.4 or 40%

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ 20 = .6

You can convert the .6 to a percentage by multiplying it:

.6 x 100 = 60%

If 12 is 60% of 20, then that means 40% was taken away.

You will notice that 48°, x, and x lie upon a straight line.  The sum of those angles must then be equal to 180°.  Which means:

48+x+x=180

48+2x=180

2x=132

x=66°

How can you tell if a equation is extraneous
geniusboy [140]
Do you mean an extraneous solution? I will tell you what I think. To tell if a solution is extraneous you need to go back to the original problem and check if there actually is a solution or if the solution is actually right. If not then it is extraneous.
