So
100%=original
25% discount
100-25=75
it is 180 sale
75%=180
find 100%

a hack is to recognize that 75/3 times 4=100 so
75%=180
divide 3
25%=60
times 4
100%=240

the real way is proportions
75:180 =100:x
75/180=100/x
multiply both sides by 180x
75x=18000
divide 75
x=240

origitnal price=$240

Given : The surface area for a rectangular prism with a square base is $SA=2s^2+4sh$ .

To find : What is the surface area if s=3 and h=5?

Rus_ich [418]

35+5t=amount in tank A after t minutes
100-8t=amount in tank B after t minutes

same amount

35+5t=100-8t
add 8t both sides
35+13t=100
minus 35 both sides
13t=65
