Answer:

The sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Blake bought a motorcycle for $ 550 last year and sold it for $ 330 this year, to determine what is his sale price as a percentage of his purchase price, the following calculation must be performed:

550 = 100

330 = X

330 x 100/550 = X

33000/550 = X

60 = X

Therefore, the sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

Solve this problem. A number c decreased by 9 is less than or equal to 20. Find c.

So c-9 is less than or equal to 20 so c is less than or equal to 29. So the correct answer is c. Hope this helps :)
