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 x 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 discounted. If it's now selling for 70%, it has been discounted 30%. So the answer is 30%

1. Minimum = 4
2. First quartile = 6.5
3. Median = 13.5
4. Third quartile = 19
5. Maximum = 20

Explanation
To calculate the measure of central tendency, you first arrange the set of the data in ascending order.
The set of data given will be;
4, 4, 9, 9, 18, 18, 20, 20.

Part 1:
The minimum value of the data is 4.

Part 2:
The first quatile is the median of the lower half which is comprised by:
4, 4, 9, 9

1st quartile = (4+9)÷2
= 13÷2
= 6.5

Part 3:
Median of the data is;

Median = (9+18)÷2
=27÷2
= 13.5

Part 4:
3rd quartile is the median of the upper half which comprises of;
18, 18, 20, 20.

3rd quartile = (18+20)÷2
= 48÷2
= 19

Part 5
The maximum of the set of data is 20.
