I do not know what point is you trying to find
The original price was $25.
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 $25 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $25, like this:
0.300 x $25 = $ 7.50.
So for this sale, you'll save $ 7.50 on this item.
This means, the cost of the item to you is
<span>$25 - $ 7.50 = $17.50.</span>
First, you need convert the decimals into fraction
0.26 = 26/100 = 13/50
The next step would be drawing 50 small boxes on a piece of paper. Make it colorless.
The final stap would be giving 13 out of those 50 boxes with different color (such as black), and you're done
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction, so in this case we have 8 as the whole part and 0.45 as the fraction, 0.45 is equal to 45/100, and that fraction can be simplified as well, lets see:
8.45 = 8 45/100
= 8 9/20
