First, you need to make the fractions have the same denominator:
15 1/2 ---> 15 + (1/2 x 5) = 15 5/10
2 1/10 ---> 2 1/10
Then you need to subtract them from each other:
15 5/10
<u>- 2 1/10</u> (or) 15 5/10 - 2 1/10 = 13 4/10
13 4/10
This gets the answer: <u>13 4/10</u>
Answer:
4 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 12-a, and their difference is ...
a - (12-a) = -4
2a = 8 . . . . add 12
a = 4 . . . . . divide by 2
12-a = 8 . . . . find the other number
The two numbers are 4 and 8.

The total cost of the skate board is $74.61.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.99. all merchandise is discounted by 12%. luis has to pay a state sales tax of 6.75%.
We need to find what is the total cost of the skateboard.
Final cost is nothing but original amount subtracted by discount and added with tax.
final cost = original cost – discount + sales tax
Original cost = $79.99
Discount = 12% of original cost

discount is $9.6 approximately
Sales tax = 6% of cost after discounting

Sales tax is $4.22 approximately
Now, final cost = 79.99 – 9.6 + 4.22
= 84.21 - 9.6
= 74.61
Hence, the total cost of the skate board is $74.61
