Hello!
First you to do 65 * 0.20
0.20 is 20% as a decimal
65 * 0.20 = 13
$13 is how much John saves.
To find out how much the skateboard cost you subtract how much he saved by the cost of the skateboard
65 - 13 = 52
The skateboard cost $52
Hope this helps!
13 cm also make sure i get my brainliest >:(
If you would like to solve the equation -5x - 25 = 78, you should do this using the following steps:
<span>-5x - 25 = 78
</span>-5x - 25 + 25 = 78 + 25
-5x + 0 = 103
-5x = 103 /(-5)
x = 103 / (-5)
x = - 103/5 = - 20.6
The error was already made at step 1.
