Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use benchmark fractions

What is 10% of 40?

that's 40/10 which is 4

What is half of 4?

4/2 = 2

That means 5% of 40 is 2

So then we do 40 - 2 = 38

The other way we can do it is by using percent proportions:

$\frac{x}{95} \frac{40}{100} \\do:\\x=\frac{95 * 40}{100}$

$x=\frac{3800}{100}$

$x=38$

David Howell was shopping for a leather jacket and found one on the dept. store that costs 395 dollars.
Now, he learned that an inflation rate of 4.5% has occurred since the jacket was originally priced.
=> 395 dollars * .045 = 17.775
=> 395 dollars - 17.775 = 377.23 is the original price of the jacket.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{41p}{70q^4(r-9)^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2p^4}{5q^5(r-9)^3}\cdot\dfrac{41q(r-9)}{28p^3}\\\\=\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot41}{5\cdot28\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_{14}}\cdot\dfrac{q\!\!\!\!\diagup}{q^{5\!\!\!\!\diagup^4}}\cdot\dfrac{(r\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}-9)\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}}{(r-9)^{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^2}}\cdot\dfrac{p^{4\!\!\!\!\diagup}}{p^3\!\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\=\dfrac{41}{70}\cdot\dfrac{1}{q^4}\cdot\dfrac{1}{(r-9)^2}\cdot\dfrac{p}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{41p}{70q^4(r-9)^2}$
