Given:
Selling Price: 12,543
Discount: 758
We simply deduct the discount from the original price to get the discounted selling price.
12,543 - 758 = 11,785
The new selling price of the boat is $11,785.
Discount of $758 is 6% of the Original selling price.
758 / 12,543 = 0.06
0.06 x 100% = 6%
0.7/1 of a wall per person
Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation: Solve for x in the first equation.
Hope this helps you out! ☺
The answer to this rests on knowing that there are four properties of multiplication (which your teacher will likely expect you to know...):
These are:
1. commutative
2. associative
3. multiplicative identity
4. distributive
I won't define each of these -- they should be in your notes or textbook. Look them up.
In this case, we are multiplying three terms together -- on the left hand side the parentheses mean to multiply a and b first, then multiply that by 3. On the right hand side, we multiply b times 3 first, and then multiply the product by a.
This would be an example of the associative property of multiplication: when three or more factors are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of how the factors are grouped.
Hope this helps!
Good luck
