$64 jacket; 20% discount

1 answer:

5 0

20 will goes into 100, 5 times so the discount will be 1/5 off. 64 divided by 5 is 12.8 and than 64 minus 12.8 is 51.2, so the discount price is $51.20.

I hoped I help :P

Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)

In a recent survey of 288 people, 72 said that their favorite color of car was white. What percent of the people surveyed liked

If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )
