You would do 2x-3+x+3x-15=360
combine like terms which then gives you
5x-18=360 then you would add 18 to both sides giving you
5x=378
and then you divide by 5 on both sides which will then give you your answer x=?
The greatest common factor is 2.
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation: 12+16+8+4 is equal to 40. 40 minus the number of brown m&ms is 24 .24/40 as a percentage is 60%. Hope this helps!!!
The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.
An item costs x dollars.
With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.
Now you apply a 30% discount.
For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.
Start with 0.4x.
Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.
70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x
After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.
Answer: 28%
