72 people. Multiply 8 times one and a half, and then by six.
Answer: <em>10 + 9 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1. Distribute: 3(6+3) - (8-x) = 18 + 9 - (8)</em>
<em>2. Eliminate redundant parentheses: 18 + 9 - (8) = 18 + 9 - 1 ⋅ 8</em>
<em>3. Multiply the numbers: 18 + 9 - 1 ⋅ 8 = 18 + 9 - 8 </em>
4. Combine like terms: 18 + 9 - 8 = 10 + 9

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.
An item costs x dollars.
With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.
Now you apply a 30% discount.
For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.
Start with 0.4x.
Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.
70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x
After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.
Answer: 28%
