Answer: 12
6x2 is 12 and 12x3 is 38.
We will first find the prime factorization of 12 and 36. After we will calculate the factors of 12 and 36 and find the biggest common factor number .
He saves $200 (the amount of change over the original amount $500
200/500 = 2/5 and 2/5 = 40% (divide 2 by 5 and get .4 which = 40%)
40% discount is the answer to your question
The answer would be X=1/2y
You can answer this problem in two different ways: the first being (17 - 5) * x, and the second being 12 * x.
