8p-8=-9(2p+5)-9(6-3p)
p=91
I showed the work up there and checked
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.
So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.
All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4
So subtract 74.4 and get
173.6
What we need to do is find the difference between the two numbers to find the difference in price and then figure out what the percent of 23.5 that is
23.50-18.80=4.7
now we'll set up a proportion
4.7 x
----- = -----
23.5 100
then cross multiply and divide
100×4.7=470/23.5=20
the percent of decrease is 20%
I hope I've helped!
The length of the rectangle would be 21
Proportion to set it up would be 7/3 x X/9 cross multiply and solve for x which is 21
