The percent discount is 30%.
If you multiply $32 by .30, you will get $9.60. That is the amount of the discount. If you subtract $9.60 from $32, you will get $22.40 which is what he paid before tax. Therefore the percent discount is 30%.
Answer:
I'm not completely sure about the first one, but #8 is 0.0419, and #9 is 30500.
1.) 6x-8y=18, 2x+8y=6 → Multiplication property of equality
2.) 8x=24 → Addition property of equality
3.) x=3 → Division property of equality
4.) 3(3)-4y=9 → Substitution property of equality
5.) 9-4y=9 → Simplify
6.) -4y=0 → Subtraction property of equality
7.) y=0 → Division property of equality
