We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.
If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:
2 1/4 = 9/4
2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5
The correct result would be 3 3/5.
