Answer:the price of jeans now is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .
Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be
x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3
x = $12
20/28 or 10/14 or 5/7
You can keep reducing until both sides of the fraction can't be divided by the same number anymore.
Answer:
Percentage=33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students=Number of 8th grader+others who went on trip
where;
Total number of students=60
Number of 8th graders=20
Others who went on trip=x
replacing;
60=20+x
x=(60-20)
x=40
Others who went on trip=x=40
Ratio of number of eighth graders to the number of everyone who went on the trip is;
Eighth graders who went=20 students
Everyone who went including the eighth graders=60
20/60==1/3
(1/3)×100=33.33%
Percentage=33.33%
