Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the length of each piece in yards
If the ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces then the sum of the pieces is:
Then:
Now we solve the equation for x
Divide both sides of equality by 8
So the length of each piece is 
of a yard.
This is: 1.125 yards
18 in total I think ion really know
The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.
An item costs x dollars.
With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.
Now you apply a 30% discount.
For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.
Start with 0.4x.
Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.
70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x
After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.
Answer: 28%
