Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.

Answer: It was marked down by 35%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find the difference of the two prices, 68-44.20=23.8
Take the fraction 23.8/68 (because that is how much the price changed and you need to find what percent that is.
You get 35%
Answer:
89.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Scott answered exactly two questions wrong. He answered the last question wrong, the 26 questions before it correctly, and the question before that wrong. Since Amy and Scott were both incorrect on the same question exactly once, Scott would have done wrong only in I or II or III question. If I question was wrong by both, total questions = 28, if II wrong total questions =29 and for iii total questions =30
Greatest possible percent would occur if total questions are less
i.e. when total =28
Greatest percent =
