A $300 tablet is on sale for $234. what is the percent of discount ?

Mathematics

I like to think of these like this.

What was the amount of the discount? 300 - 234 = $66 dollars.

66 is to 300 as ? is to 100?

This is how that question looks in an equation:

66/300 = x/100 Solve for x by cross multipying.

66 x 100 = 300 x

660 = 300 x

x = 22

The discount amount on the tablet is 22% off the regular price.

Check it!

300 x .22 = $66 dollars off. 300 - 234 = $66 off.

Yes! It checks.

an art dealer makes a 17.5% commission on every painting sold. If a painting sold for $1500, what was the commission
Aleksandr [31]
A percentage is a number out of 100.  So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.

Answer:

x=11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

x+11/36 = 37/60

Cross multiply:

1332=60(x+11)

Distribute:

1332=60x+660

Subtract 660 from 1332

672=60x

Divide:

x=11.2

I'm not sure if this is the correct answer but I hope this helps! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong!
