Answer:
0.75 could be a 25% discount. 1.06 could be a sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
If p is the original price, then 1.06p could be the amount after a 6% tax is include. Then multiplying by 0.75 could indicate a 25% discount (if you <u>don't</u> pay 25% = 0.25, then you <u>do</u> pay 75% = 0.75).
In case you're wondering about discounting <u>first</u> then charging tax, the result is the same because the multiplication can be done in either order.
0.75(1.06p) = 1.06(0.75p)
10(1 + 4a) - 7a = -6a + 5(1 + 8a)
10 + 40a - 7a = -6a + 5 + 40a
-40. -40
10 - 7a = -6a + 5
-7a + 6a = 5 - 10
-a = -5
5 = a
There ya go! Hope this helped
