Remember that if there is a 25% discount, then the amount you are paying represents 75%. We know the original price (ie 100%)
There are several methods.
Simplest: Find 25% of the$40 and subtract to find the price to be paid.
25

100

40
=
10
discount
price =
40
−

Second method. Find 75% immediately

You can do any percentage question using the concept of direct proportion.

if $40 is 100%, how much is 75%?

cross-multiply

Find (-21)+(-13)+20.
Fed [463]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

-21+-13+20=14

This is true because when subtracting negatives by negatives you pretty much add them and then when you add a positive to a negative you are technically removing the negative by the amount you are adding.

In short its kind of like using inverse operation in a way.

Hope this helps and have a nice day

Also may I please have a brainliest!!!
