The equation is part/whole = percent/100. Percent is unknown so it will be a variable, and it was marked down by 7 dollars so subtract : 25-7=18 now let's see our equation : 18/25 = x/100 Now solve : make sure 18/25 is simplified. (It all ready is) Now trade off : 18•100=25•x=1,800=25x (Divide by 25 on both sides and get) : 72=x. It was 72% off. Hoped I helped!

A 17.2 gallon gasoline tank is 1/2 full. How many gallons will it take to fill the tank?
love history [14]

Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tank is filled halfway, and it can hold 17.2 gallons, so we can just divide to figure out how much is half the tank (the amount we need to fill it)

17.2 / 2 = 8.6

We can check our work by multiplying

8.6 x 2 = 17.2

So it would take 8.6gal to fill it up. I hope this helps :)

A pair of shoes cost $88. You get
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$77.44

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shoes cost $88 but you get a 20% discount, subtract 20% from 88: -->

$88-20% = $70.4

Then add 8% of 88 to 70.4 -->

8% of $88 = $7.04.

$70.4 + $7.04 = $77.44

Therefore the final price of the shoes are $77.44

Hope this helps!!!~~ <3
