It would be 115
180-65 = 115 and 180 comes from the straight line which is half of 360
To solve this first we need to get are chunk which is already solved for here as
Y=(4x) so one the chunk side of this we dont have to solve for it, so now we can just skip right to solving this equation like so. First input the numbers x+(4x)=5,
Distribute/Combine like terms in this case
5x=5
Divide by 5
x=1
So now that we have x we can plug it into are chunk and then we have are answer
Y=(4x)
Y=(4*1)
Y=4
So are end answers are

Complete question :
A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.
a. Write the markdown as a decimal. b. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book.
Answer:
0.52 ; 0.52b
Step-by-step explanation:
The markdown percentage = 52%
Expresaing markdown as a decimal :
52% = 52 / 100 = 0.52
Expression for the sale price of hardcover book:
Original price = b
Price was marked down by 0.52
Hence, sales price becomes ;
Original price * markdown
b * 0.52
0.52b
