Answer:
12,500-11,625=875
875/12,500=7/100
7/100*100=7
The percentage reduction is 7%
P.S * represents multiplication
You can't find the exact value of y, but you can find y in terms of x!
Adding 3y and subtracting 8 from both sides, we have:
2x-3y+3y-8=8+3y-8
2x-8=3y
Dividing by 3, we see that y=(2x-8)/3. This is the simplest form we can find for y.
The value would be 4.
First, you have to do 4 + 3 because it's in parenteces. This equals 7
Secondly, you have to do 2 x 7, which is 14.
Last you have to do 18 - 14 which is 4.
Begin by multiplying $15.65 by 0.20 to find what 20% of the regular price is. This gives you 3.13, which in this situation means $3.13.
To find the price with discount subtract 15.65-3.13. This gives you $12.52.
To find out the change, subtract 20-12.52. This gives you $7.48.
So, he will receive $7.48 in change.
Hope this helps!
