check the picture below.
so, when we have a line from a 90° angle running perpendicular to the opposite side, like in this case, we end up with three similar triangles, a large one containing the other two, a medium and a small one.
now, using the sides proportions as you see there, of the small and large one, we get that much.
Given:
Original or base : 40
New amount : 72
We need to find the difference of the new amount and the original amount
72 - 40 = 32
We then divide the difference by the original amount
32/40 = 0.80
We multiply the quotient by 100%
0.80 x 100% = 80%
The percentage of change is 80%
So first,
$22.50 * .20= 4.5
Then, since is 20% off you subtract the percentage you get in which this case, it's 4.5.
$22.50 - 4.5 = $18
So the Jacket is $18.00!
Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
Steve's original temperature - 102
2 hours later it dropped 3 degrees
102 - 3 = 99
Steve's current temperature is 99.
