Simple, finding markdown, use these two formulas.
Markdown=Original-New
and
Percent Markdown= Markdown Amount/Original*100
So,
Markdown=612-450
M=162
Markdown%= 162/612*100
M%=0.2647*100
M%=26.5 (rounded)
Thus, there was a 26.5% decrease.
Let's simplify step-by-step.
<span><span>12<span>x^2</span></span>+<span>9<span>x^2
</span></span></span>Combine Like Terms:
<span>=<span><span>12<span>x^2</span></span>+<span>9<span>x^2
</span></span></span></span><span>=<span>(<span><span>12<span>x^2</span></span>+<span>9<span>x^2</span></span></span>)
</span></span><span>=<span>21<span>x^<span>2</span></span></span></span>
