17% would be equal to 17/100. 4/25 is equivalent to 16/100. Therefore, 17% is larger.
25% off means that they are paying 75% of the original price. Multiply d by 75%:
0.75d
Now you need to multiply the price by 1 plus the sales tax to get the total cost:
0.75d x 1.08
Simplify by multiplying 0.75 by 1.08 to get:
0.81d
To find a median of an even amount of numbers, add the two middle numbers, and divide by two.
45 + 46 = 91
91/2 = 45.5
45.5 is your median
