The least common multiple, or LCM, is another number that's useful in solving many math problems. Let's find the LCM of 30 and 45. One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
45 = 3 × 3 × 5
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: one occurrence
3: two occurrences
5: one occurrence
2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90 <— LCM
After you've calculated a least common multiple, always check to be sure your answer can be divided evenly by both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:
Alex bought a new skate board at 20% discount. He paid $72. What percent of the original price did he pay?
Step 1
We find the original price
= Percent Discount × Original price =
= 20% × Original price = $72
= 0.2 × x = $72
x = $72/0.2
x = 360
Answer:
You can buy 7 additional donuts
Step-by-step explanation:
$0.50 times 7 is $3.50 and $7.50 plus $3.50 is $11 dollars so you would be able to get 7 additional donuts
The answer is 1 because that's the point on the graph where x meets 0, or (0, 1)
