Answer:

Omar Traveled 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up a two step equation, .50x (x is our variable for miles driven) then +1.75= 4.25. Then Subtract 1.75 from itself and from 4.25. You get 2.5, bring everything down. You are now left with .50x=2.5 divide each side by .50 . 2.5 divided by .50 equals 5 and .50 divided by itself is zero, bring down the x and the 2.5. It should now look like this x = 2.5 That is your answer.

A necklace regularly sells for $18.00. the store advertises a 15% discount. what is the sale price of the necklace in dollars

SSSSS [86.1K]

I can solve with 2 methods:

I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)

II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)

Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.
