Ok so find 20% off and see if less tha 75
percent means parts out of 100
20% means 20/100=1/5
'of' means multiply
20% of 80=1/5 times 80=16
off means subtract
disctoun tof 16 is 80-16=64
64<75
how much left over
75-spent=left over
75-64=11
anwwer is $11 left over and enough money to buy
Answer:
the distance is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) D<span>ifference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90
2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10
Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b
2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10
3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100
