10% of 59 = 5.9
59 - 5.9 = 53.1
answer: sale price is $53.1
32=16x2=2x2x2x2x2=2^5
48=24*2=6x4x2=2x3x2x2x2
Pick the highest number that occurs. In this case it is 2. Now we have to see how many times it appears in both. It appears 5 times in 32 and 4 times in 48. 4 is the highest number of times it appears in the numbers so:
2^4=2x2x2x2=16
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 32 and 48 is 16.
The bottom line in the red triangle is 3 units long.
The top line of the blue triangle is 6 units long.
Divide the larger by the smaller to get the scale factor: 6 / 3 =2
The scale factor is 2
