100%/x%=20/15
(100/X)*x=20/15*x --I multiply both sides of the equation by X
100=1.33333333333*x --I divided both sides of the equation by .........................................(1.33333333333) to get X
100/1.33333333333=x
75=x
x=75
15 is 75% of 20

The answer is D. "P". hope this helps you
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Statements Reasons
1). In ΔABC, DE intersects AB and AC 1). Given
2). DE║BC 2). Given
3). ∠ADE ≅ ABC 3). Corresponding angles postulate
4). ∠AED ≅ ∠ACB 4). Corresponding angles postulate
5). ΔADE ~ ΔABC 5). AA similarity postulate
6).
6). Definition of two similar triangles
Hence proved.
Answer:
rearrange them properly to get
x-y=7
-3x+y=12
( by elimination method)
x-y = 7
-3x+y=
(x+ –3x) + (–y+y) = (7+12)
-2x+0= 19
x= -9.5
from eqn(i)
x-y=7
-9.5 - y=7
-y=16.5
y= -16.5
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?
Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.
20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:

so the discount is 7 dollars.
