Answer:
When we have a discount of X% of the original price, the new price is calculated as:
New price = (original price) - (original price)*(X%/100%)
In our case, let's define:
P = original price of the fishing pole
f = price of the fishing pole after the discount
X% = 20%
Then the equation for the price of the fishing pole is:
f = P - P*(20%/100%) = P - P*0.2 = P*(1 - 0.2) = P*0.8
f = 0.8*P
This means that the price after the discount is 0.8 times the original price.

Answer:
399.17 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Gunnar's car gets 22.4 miles per gallon. His gas tank can hold 17.82 gallons of gas.
Gunnar's car travels with one gallon of gas = 22.4 miles
He can travel with 17.82 gallon of gas = 17.82 × 22.4
= 399.168 ≈ 399.17 miles
Gunnar can travel 399.17 miles if he uses all of the gas in the gas tank.
