not really sure, ive never done this kind of math
If the price of an item has been reduced by 65%, that means that it used to be 35% higher, and that is the number we have to use in the equation. Here it is:
x - price
35% - how much it got discounted
60 - new price
100% - total percentage
x : 35 = 60 : 100
100x = 60*35 (crossover multiplication)
100x = 2100
x = 2100 / 100
x = 21
The price of the item now is 21$.
Or you can do it this way:
65% of $60 = 0.65 of 60 = 39; 60 - 39 (how much it was discounted) = 21 (the new price)
Answer:
A. 7.5% :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(m+3)=24
Use distributive Property: -4m-12=24
Add 12 to both sides: -4m=36
Divide both sides by -4: m=-9
You can check the answer by plugging -9 into m on the original equation.
