You want to buy something that costs $98, and it's on sale for 30% off. What is the item's sale price?
First, convert the 30% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 30% by 100%, or 30% / 100% = 0.300.
Second, find out what 30% of $98 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $98, like this:
0.300 x $98 = $29.40.
So for this sale, you'll save $29.40 on this item.
This means, the cost of the item to you is
$98 - $29.40 = $68.60.
She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.
Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690,
let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.
20c + 25b = 690
c + b = 30
Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b
Plug this value into the first equation
20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
600 + 5b = 690
5b = 90
b = 18
To find c, plug this value of b into the other equation
c + 18 = 30
c = 12
Your answer simplified should be 1.6 or 1 3/5
