Answer:
1. 60%
2. $500
Explained:
10% = 50 in this case since 50 multiplied by 9 is 450
50 multiplied by 10 is 500
Which concludes that $500 was the original price and it was discounted by $50!
3. 16.4%
Explained:
I'll be saying the price is $100 for an example
If 12% is taken off the price, you still have to pay 88%
So, 88% in decimal form is 0.88. 100 multiplied by 0.88 equals 88.
Now we have to take off the 5%
So, after 5% you'll still have to pay 95%, and 88 multiplied by 0.95 equals 83.6
Now, if you subtract the 100 minus 83.6, it equals 16.4
Which means your answer is 16.4%
Hope I helped!
