Answer:
it would be on the 6th tick
Use the equation 459/x=85/100. then you cross multiply 459 and 100 to get 45900. after that you divide 45900 by 85 to get x=540
Let's say the tv was 100$ . Reduced by 20% means the tv is now 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price.
0.8(100) = 80$
Reduced again; by 10% means that it is now 100-10 = 90% of the 80$
0.9(80) = 72$
sale price ÷ original price
72$ / 100$ = 0.72 which is 72% of the original price. Which is a mark down of:
100 - 72 = 28%
The new price is 28% lower than the original price.
9 and 3 are the only common factors between 54 and 90
(x^4 - 9)(x^3 + 9)
This is a binomial * binomial. Use the FOIL method for multiplying.
First, outer, inner, last.
x^4 * x^3 = x^7
x°^4 * 9 = 9x^4
-9 * x^3 = -9 x^3
-9 * 9 = -81
Putting it back together.
x^7 +9x^4 -9x^3 - 81
