If the Air Jordans were originally $110 and are now $70 then the percentage off is 36.3636%
To get 75 decreased by 40% you subtract 40% from 100%.
100 - 40 = 60
So to get 60% of 75 you multiply .60 by 75.
.60 x 75 = 45
You have $45 now, but you have to decrease it by 40% again. You do the same process, so we need to multiply .60 by 45.
.60 x 45 = 27
So, the final result is $27.
Step-by-step explanation:
22 - 4x = 3
-4x = 3 - 22
-4x = - 19
x = - 19/-4
x = 19 /4 or 4.75
