10 times: 10 ×
The sum of: ( ) + ( )
which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )
half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )
and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )
is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SIMPLIFICATION
Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12
which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12
bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12
Equals: 5x = 78
Find out X:. x = 78/5
FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9

.......................................................... (2×3)+(6×3)
Answer: 59
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not the same since you will note be taking the 10% off the original price which is greater than the discounted price.
Example: An item is priced at $10.00 and if you take 35% off it would then cost 10.00-3.50 = $6.50.
But if you first take 25% off the 10 it would be 10.00-2.50 =7.50 and now 10%off it is 7.50-0.75= $6.75 which is greater than the $6.50 from the initial 35% off.
Therefore the advertisement of 25% then a 10% is acutally less than a 35% off the original price.
