Keith bought a pair of jeans at a discounted price of $91.00. The original price of the pair of jeans was $130.00. If Keith got
the same discount on a t-shirt that originally cost $23.00, what is the discounted price of the t-shirt?
2 answers:
So first step would be to find the percent Keith got off for his jeans. To do that subtract 130-91 to get a difference of 39, then multiply 39 by 100 which is 3,900 and then divide by 130 which will give you 30. Which means Keith got 30% off his jeans. So, to find how much his shirt cost if he got 30% off you would multiply the original price, 23 by 0.3 or 30 percent and you get 6.9 then subtract 23-6.9 to get 16.1. So Keith bought his shirt for $16.10.

<u>Answer:</u>
- The value of x is 50°.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We know that:</u>
- x = y
- 2(70 + 60) + x + y = 360
<u>Work:</u>
- 2(130) + x + x = 360
- => 260 + 2x = 360
- => 2x = 360 - 260
- => 2x = 100
- => x = 50
Hence, <u>the value of x is 50°.</u>
