Numerator is 3 and denominator is 5. So, we divide the sales price by 3 and we multiply by 5 to get the whole fraction, or 100%.

Your regular price sounds recurring, so you might have made a mistake copying.
The answer for what you've got is 94.633333...
Answer:
8 (x -9)
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know if you ment 9 instead of 9, but if you did that that would be the answer!
16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
