95 + x = 73
95 + -22 = 73
x= -22
The answer is -22.
15% off
$20 is 100%
$10 is 50%
$1 is 5%
Use that to work them out and voila
X = # of perfomances
y = total amount of money
Income: y = 7500x
Expense: y = 5900x + 88000
Substitution:
7500x = 5900x + 88000
1600x = 88000
x = 55
y = 7500(55) = $412,500
55 performances are needed to break-even.
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?
Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.
20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:
so the discount is 7 dollars.
