Answer:

$68

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out what 15% of $80 is. 15% as a decimal is 0.15. Multiply 0.15 and 80 together.

0.15 x 80 = 12.

Now, subtract 12 from the original price, 80.

80 - 12 = 68.

Answer:

I can solve with 2 methods:

I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $

18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)

II. The discount is 15 % of 18$

15*18/100= 2,7$  ( the discount)

then I decrease it from the regularly price

18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)

Personally I believe the first is an easier method.

I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.

Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.
Leona [35]

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation \left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right., we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

It would be 66 degrees because

this would equal 180 degrees

add the angles together:30+57+27=114

now subtract 180-114=66degrees
