No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18

One half of something plus another half of something is equal to the thing
1/2x +1/2x = x
The reduced answer would be ?/10
1 cm = 1.5 feet
9 feet / 1.5 = 6 cm 12 feet / 1.5 = 8 cm B. 6 cm by 8 cm
16 squared is 256 because if you multiply 16 times 16 you get 256
