the answer is 0.92
Greetings!
To start this problem, let's first assign a variable for the missing, consecutive odd numbers. Since they are consecutive and odd, we add two.
<u>Proof:</u> <em>3-1=2, 5-3=2</em>
The first, consecutive, odd number: 
The second, consecutive, odd number: 
The third, consecutive, odd number: 
The fourth, consecutive, odd number: 
The sum of the values are equal to 3 times the sum of the first two numbers, of which this is equal to 35 less than the fourth number. Let's create an equation to simplify this:

Complete the operations inside the parenthesis:

Distribute the parenthesis (utilizing the distributive property)


Simplify both sides:

Add -6 and -x to both sides of the equation:


Divide both sides of the equation by 5:


If
is equal to -7:



The four numbers are:

Step-by-step explanation:
the original retail price was 120% of the manufacturer price (100% manufacturer price + 20% markup).
now, the whole retail price is reduced by 12%.
that means we have to subtract 12% from the 120%.
but careful, we cannot just do 120-12=108.
that is simply because these 120% are now for this calculation the new basic amount and therefore 100%.
we actually need to calculate and subtract 12% of 120 to get the new percentage over the manufacturer price.
we do this by multiplying 120 by (100-12)/100 = 88/100 = 0.88 :
120 × 0.88 = 105.6%
so, the new retail price is now only 5.6% over the manufacturer price.
X= -7
2+x=-5 if you move the constant to the right side it would be x=-5-2 which equals -7
