<u>Answer</u>

20%


<u>Explanation</u>

let the cost of tie = x

Then cost of a pair of pants = (100+50)%x

                                               = 150%x

                                                 = 1.5x

The cost of shirt = (100+25)%x

                           = 125%x

                             = 1.25x

(1.5x - 1.25x)/1.25x × 100

0.25x/1.25x × 100

0.2 × 100 = 20%

Out of 30 questions, Ahmad answer 12 of them incorrectly. What percent of the questions did he answer correctly?
kati45 [8]
First, you would need to determine how many questions he got correct. 
30 - 12 = 18

Next, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
\frac{18}{30} = \frac{x}{100}

Now, you would cross multiply. 
30x = 1,800

The last step would be to isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides of the equal sign by 30. 
x = 60

Ahmad got 60% of the questions correct. 

I hope this helps!
