Try to visualize the situation; "A percent multiplied by $45 will be me $27"

$45(x/100)=$27
x/100=27/45
x/100=0.6
x=60%

Therefore, the discount was 60%

Hope I helped :)

I NEED HELP!!

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the total fraction of raisins he gave to his brothers

Step 2: Find the lowest common multiple(Lcm) of 6 and 4

Lcm of 6 and 4 = 12

Step 3: Add the fractions

= $\frac{2+ 3}{12}$

= $\frac{5}{12}$

Step 4: To find the fraction that he kept, you will subtract the total fractions he gave his brothers from 1.

$1 - \frac{5}{12} \\= \frac{12-5}{12} \\= \frac{7}{12}$

Final answer

The fraction that he kept = $\frac{7}{12}$
