The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
An item that costs $30, when discounted 15 percent, will cost $25.5. The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $30 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $4.5. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $4.5 from the original price $30 then get $25.5 as the sales price.
The answer is 2 fishing method and divide both sides by 6
