an item was selling for $72 is reduced to $60 find the precent decrease in price round your answer to the nearest tenth

1 answer:

8 0

Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off...
well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333
then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333
so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right??
so your answer should be 80%
Hope i helped!!! :D

you spend at most $10 at the mall you want to buy a book that costs $6.75 and a cold drink how much can you spend on the drink?

Aneli [31]

You can make an equation: 6.75 + x = 10
6.75 is the amount you spend on the book, x is the amount you can spend on the drink, and 10 is the total cost.

Solve for x to find how much you can spend on the drink.
6.75 + x = 10
Subtract 6.75 from both sides to isolate x.

x = 3.25

You can spend $3.25 on the drink.
