what is your question then?
Identify X first then I can solve this
In that 16 minutes, the amount that leaks out is (8 - 6) = 2 gallons.
The average unit rate of the leak is
(2 gal)/(16 min) = (2/16) (gal/min) = 1/8 gal/min
= 16 fluid ounce per min
= 4/15 fl oz per second
We can use algebra.
So, what rate time 1.20 = .80
Let x = the rate (in a decimal form)
1.20x = .80
x = .6666666666
Now, we need to multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
66.66 The price is 66% of the regular price.
They marked it off
33.33%
