Factor 36x^3 = (2)(2)(3)(3)(x)(x)(x)
Factor 8x = (2)(2)(2)(x)
Take what they have in common which is (2)(2)(x) and multiply and it will be 4x.
Find what percent of $39.00 the sale price was.
=> 15/39*100=38.4%
now subtract from 100% to get the mark down percentage.
100-38.4=61.6
Final answer:
Marked down 61.6%
Hope I helped :)
Yes, is subtraction, to get their "difference".
first off, let's convert the mixed fractions, to "improper", and then subtract.

First, you expand it.
2x - 6x + 3 = 3 - 4x
Now, simplify.
-4x + 3 = - 4x
Cancel out the double "4x"
3 = 3
Since both side have an equal answer, there in an infinite number of answers.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
