39 + 0.16m = 25 + 0.24m
39 - 25 = 0.24m - 0.16m
14 = 0.08m
14 / 0.08 = m
175 = m <=== they will cost the same at 175 miles
39 + 0.16(175) = 39 + 28 = $ 67
25 + 0.24(175) = 25 + 42 = $ 67
they will both cost $ 67 <=====
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the regular price of the carpet.
Then:
sale price = regular price less discount
$374 = c - $66
Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:
$374 + $66 = c = $440. This is the regular price.
$66
---------- = 0.15 This is the fraction of the regular price by
$440 which the regular price is reduced.
Then the percentage of this discount was 0.15(100%) = 15%
