Answer:
<u>The percent decrease of the microwave from the original price to the sale price is 24%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Original price of a microwave = $ 75
Mark-up price of the microwave = $ 90
Sale price of the microwave = $ 57
2. What is the percent decrease from the original price to the sale price?
For answering this question we will use the Direct Rule of Three this way:
Price Percentage
75 100%
57 x
75x = 57 * 100
75x = 5,700
x = 5,700/75
x = 76
76 = 100 - 24
<u>The percent decrease of the microwave from the original price to the sale price is 24%</u>
Answer:
-b -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2(8b+3) + 3B (a negative times a positive equals a negative)
1. Mutiply -1/2 by 8b and then by 3
(-1/2 x 8b -1/2 x 3) + 3b
-4b - 3/2 + 3b
2. Add -4b + 3b = -b
-b - 3/2
