Answer:

both statements are fine

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,

First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.

For example:

let "x" be the original price

in the first case it would be:

0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:

x - 0.2 * x

in the second case it is:

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x

Solve -10=4x show work please :D
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-2.5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

-10 = 4x

the equation between 4 and x is multiplication

as our goal is to move the x on its separate side, we should divide each side by 4 to get rid of the bond between the 4 and the x

Therefore,

-10 = 4x

-10/4 = x

Simplify into decimal if needed

-2.5 = x

Hope that helped!!! k
