I think that the answer is 45% because the sale started off with a 20% discount, but at the end they added another 25% to the sales. So since the sale already started off with 20%, you add 20%+25% which equals 45%.
Answer:
(21 + 11)2 = 64
So, I don't think teachers do this, but this is my way of doing it
Okay, so first, I divided 64 by 2 :
64 ÷ 2 = 32
Then, I subtracted 11 from 32:
21
Now, to check, just do the problem :
(21 + 11)2 = 64
32 * 2 = 64
2 times (9+7) is correct.
9 + 7 = 16.
16 multiplied by 2 is 32.
The answer is 30. 5/10 is equal to 15/30
( 2a + 3 ) - ( 4a - 8 ) = 7
2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7
-2a + 11 = 7
-2a = -4
a = -4 / -2
a = 2
