To find the sale price multiply the original cost by the sale percentage. (37x.2= 7.4) subtract this discount from the total (37-7.4= 29.6) this is your sale price. Now multiply this by the other percentage (29.6x.15= 4.44) (29.6-4.44= 25.16) $25.16 is your final answer
The numbers of gallons bought every stop are extraneous...you can ignore them. Add 1.68, 1.76 and 1.65 together and divide the total by three. The average is 1.69
There's no need to get into an ethical morass over math homework.

M is 20% less than N means
M is 100-20=80% of N
M=0.80 N
M/N = 0.8 = 4/5
Ratio: 4/5

When we know <em>a, </em>the average, and <em>n, </em>how many numbers there are, we know the sum <em>s</em>, because <em>a=s/n </em>so <em>s=na.</em>
So the sum of our six numbers is 6(3.5)=21 so the sum of the seven numbers is 21+4.2=25.2 so the average is 25.2/7 = 3.6
Answer: 3.6

|2p + 4 | < 3
At p=-2 the absolute value is zero. As p gets more negative the absolute value argument (inside part) gets negative and the absolute value gets bigger, more positive. Eventually the inside will be exactly -3, when
2p +4 = -3
2p = -7
p = -7/2 = -3 1/2
So p=-4 will make the inequality false, and p=-3 is the smallest integer that makes the inequality true.
Answer: -3
