Okay for this question, you make a simple equation: (1/3)x=(1/4)y to represent the ratio between the milk and water. Then to find how many cups of water are needed for each cup of milk, you plug in 3 for x (because 1/3 times 3 equals one cup) and solve for your y value. Your final equation for solving should look like: (1/3)(3)=(1/4)y
The percentage discount on the item will be equal to 8%.
<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>
The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to the 100. It is denoted by the sign %.
Given that:-
- Price of the item before tax and discount = $17
- After discount and before tax price is = $15.64
The percentage of the discount will be calculated as:-
Percentage discount = ( 17 - 16.64 ) / ( 17 )
Percentage discount= ( 1.36 ) / ( 17 )
Percentage discount = 0.08 x 100 = 8%
Therefore the percentage discount on the item will be equal to 8%.

Answer:
3) x = 9
4) x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3) The two short segments are indicated as having a sum equal to the long segment.
(x +2) +(-5 +x) = 15
2x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
(This makes the segments be 9+2 = 11 and -5+9 = 4, which total 15.)

4) Same deal.
3x +3 = 4x
3 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3x
(This makes the segments be 3(3) = 9 and 4(3) = 12, where 9+3=12.)
