Hi there!
To find the percent discount, we need to divide the new price by the original price without the discount:
18 / 25 = 0.72
Now, we convert this into a percentage, so we can find the <em>percent </em>discount:
0.72 = 72%
Now, we subtract from 100%:
100% - 72% = 28%
So, the answer is 28%.
Hope this helps!
A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.
selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000
Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write
Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000
There are 6! = 720 ways of arranging the lamps.
If the leftmost lamp is red, there are 3 choices of lamp in the leftmost position, and the remaining 5 can be placed in any order, so there are 3×5! = 360 ways of arranging the lamps and the leftmost is red.
Hence there is a 360/720 = 1/2 probability that the leftmost lamp is red.
Ignoring lamp color for the moment, the probability of arranging 3 lit lamps and 3 unlit lamps is the same, 1/2.
Since Ryan arranges the lamps randomly by color, then turns 3 of them on randomly, the two events are independent. So
P(leftmost red AND leftmost lit) = P(red) × P(lit) = 1/2² = 1/4
