No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18
what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 (4x - 8) + 3x =0
distribute the 1/4
x-2+3x=0
combine like terms
-2+4x=0
move -2 to the other side [by ADDing +2 to each side
4x=2
divide [by 4 on both sides]
x=1/2
It costs 2.50 for 1 taco and 4 dollars for 1 burrito
