When we factorise an expression, we are looking for simple factors that multiply to get the original expression. Usually it is very natural to factorise something like a quadratic in x. For example:
x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x+1)(x+2)
But there are other situations where factorisation can be applied. Take this quadratic:
x^2 - 9x = x(x-9)
This second example is closer to the question in hand. Just like x was a common factor to both x^2 and -9x, we are looking for a common factor to both 6b and 24bc. The common factor is 6b.
Hence 6b + 24bc = 6b(1 + 4c).
I hope this helps you :)
The original price of the hat is $35. Paolo paid $28 for the hat.
So discount for the hat is $(35-28) = $7
$7 is discounted from $35. We have to find the percentage of the discount.
To find the percentage we have to divide the discount amount by the original price and then have to multiply it by 100.
So the discount percentage =
((7/35)×100) %
We can simplify 7/35 by dividing 7 and 35 both by 7. So we will get 1/5 after simplifying.
((1/5) ×100) %
(100/5)% = 20%
So the hat was discounted by 20%.
