The whole pie is 1, because 1 is 100%. Tom ate 2/3 of 1 and Sam ate 1/4 of the pie.
So, here's how to determine how much is left:
1 - (2/3 + 1/4) = 1 - (8/12 + 3/12) = 1 - 11/12 = 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12

The correct answer is that 1/2 of the pie is left.

What is the discount rate for a $120.00 camera that is on sale for $105.00?

balu736 [363]

<span>The resent value, also called "discounted value," is the current worth of the camera. So, we know that the discounted value is $105.00.
The first price of the camera was $120.00.
This means that the price is decreased. In order to calculate the discount rate we should find out how many percent the camera was discounted. 105 from 120 is: 105/120*100=87.5
So, the discount is 100-87.5=12.5 %.

All you have to is divide two consecutive terms to calculate the common ratio

1/4 divided by 5/12 = 1/4 * 12/5 = 12/20 = 3/5
