Check the picture below.
now, since we know what "f" is, let us use the CNT triangle with the small COR one.

Each time you are subtracting 1/9 to get the next term
For example, going from term 2 to term 3 is a difference of -1/9
(1 8/9) - (1/9) = 1 7/9
which is why the answer is choice A
a. 9/10
explanation:
• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor
• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9
• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible
b. 3/4
explanation:
• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12
• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)
• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)
• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)
• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12
- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4
c. 1/3
explanation:
•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6
• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3
The final price of the item is $22,644
The initial discount of 10% leaves the price at 90% of the retail value:

cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 3,060,000
x = 30,600
This new price is then discounted 26%, which means the final price is 74% of $30,600:

cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 2,264,400
x = 22,644
The final price of the home entertainment system is $22,644
