The original price is $60.The sales price is $45. What is the percent of discount?

1 answer:

5 0

Hey there!

To start, first subtract 45 from 60 to find the amount of money taken off from the discount:
60-45
=15

Because 15 dollars have been taken off the original price, you can find the percent of discount by setting up this proportion where x represents the percent of discount:
15/60=x/100

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
1500=60x
x=25

Therefore, your discount would be 25%.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

Consider the enlargement of the pentagon. A small pentagon has a bottom side length of x centimeters and left side length of 7 c

When the pentagon is drawn to scale then its value of x will be x=3.3 cm

<h3>What is the pentagon?</h3>

The pentagon is defined as the shape having five sides connected together.

Now it is given in the question that

For small pentagone

Bottom =x

left =7 cm

For larger pentagone

Bottom=7cm

left=15cm

Now since the pentagon is actually dilated from its size to the new bigger size. It means that the equivalent ratio of both the pentagons will be equal.

For smaller pentagon

$\rm Equivalent \ Ratio = \dfrac{Bottom}{Left} =\dfrac{x}{7}$
