Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

5%-->20% is increased by x4, therefore you multiply 20 by 4 which is 80 or you can set an proportion

<h3>5/20=20/x</h3><h3>5x=400</h3><h3>x=80</h3>

He would pay $320 at a discount of 20%.
The first step in solving this is hidden in the sentence “discount of 5%, he would pay $20 less”. This informs us that 5% of the price and $20 are the same
Our next step is to find how much 100% of the price is
Multiplying 5 and 20 gets us 100, so multiplying 5% by 20 will get us 100%
We already know that 5% is $20, so we can multiply $20 by 20 to get to 100% percent of the price
(20*20=400)
Now that we know the total price, we can find a discount of any percent. Since we know that a five percent discount will give you $20 dollars off, we can deduce that a 20% discount will give us $80 off.
(20/5=4)
(4*20=80)
(400-80=320!)
Hopefully this helps, if you need me to explain anything again I’ll try my best!

Talja [164]

Answer:

A percentage by definition means out of a hundred.

Anything out of a percent is anything out of a hundred.

In this case it’s 32 percent.

It’s just 32/100

When simplified you’d get 8/25

<u>Given</u>:

The given graph represents the cost of the Kayak's rental per hour.

The coordinates are (2,30) and (3,45)

We need to determine the unit rate of renting per hour.

<u>Unit rate of renting:</u>

The unit rate of renting can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the coordinates (2,30) and (3,45), we get;

m=\frac{45-30}{3-2}

Simplifying, we get;

m=\frac{15}{1}

Dividing, we get;

m=15

Thus, the unit rate for renting a Kayak is $15 per hour.
