Divide the percentage by 100. EXAMPLE: 50% = 0.5

The way that you change a percentage into a decimal is by removing the percent sign off of it (so for example, you have 100%, take off the percent sign and you're left with 100). Next, you move a decimal point 2 places to the left (so you now just have a plain 100--> one decimal step: 10.0--> two decimal steps: 1.00). That is how you transform a percent to a decimal.

Hope this helps you out, mi amigo! :3

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer

Aneli [31]

Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

Sam read 20% of the book on Monday and 0.2 of the book on Tuesday. If he read 50% of the remainder on Wednesday and still had 36

KonstantinChe [14]

Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.
