A $40 shirt now selling for $28 is discounted by what percent?

Mathematics
1 answer:
motikmotik2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as converting a fraction. 28/40 to x/100. You do this because in the situation, 40 is 100 percent of the price. So 28 is <em>x</em> percent of 100.

You multiply 40 by 2.5 to get to 100, so multiply 28 by the same number to get x. 28 * 2.5 = 70.

So 28 is 70 percent of 40. But the question is asking by what percentage it is <em>discounted. </em>If it's now selling for 70%, it has been discounted 30%. So the answer is 30%

A roadside vegetable stand sells pumpkins for $5 each and squashes for $3 each. One day they sold 6 more squash than pumpkins, a
anygoal [31]
Rate at which each pumpkin is sold = $5
Rate at which each squash is sold = $3
Let us assume the number of pumpkins sold in a day = x
Then
The number of squash sold on that day = x + 6
Total amount of sales on that day = $98
Then
5x + 3( x + 6) = 98
5x + 3x + 18 = 98
8x = 98 - 18
8x = 80
x = 80/8
  = 10
So
The number of pumpkins sold = 10
The number of squash sold = x + 6
                                            = 10 + 6
                                            = 16
