Answer:
2 is a number and "twice a number" means multiply by 2.
The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Price of an item = X dollars
Discount = 20%
Amount of discount = 20% of Price of item
Amount of discount =
Price of item after discount = Price of item - Amount of discount
Price of item after discount = X-0.2X = 0.8X dollars
The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.

There are 10 males and males plus females equal 21
The two number are 39 and 13
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"
Let the larger number be "a" and the smaller number be "b"
<em><u>Given that, sum of two numbers is 52</u></em>
a + b = 52 ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>One number is 3 times as large as the other number</u></em>
Larger number = 3 times smaller number
a = 3b -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
3b + b = 52
4b = 52
b = 13
<em><u>Substitute b = 13 in eqn 2</u></em>
a = 3(13)
a = 39
Thus the two number are 39 and 13
<span>25.7 years
The rule of 72 is a simple approximation on how long it will take to double your money. You simply divide 72 by the interest rate and you'll have your estimate on the number of years it will take. So
72 / 2.8 = 25.7 years.
To demonstrate that it's just an estimate, you can take the log of 2 and divide by the log of 1.028 to get the exact value. This far more complicated calculation gives the result of 25.1 years. And to be honest, the estimate of 25.7 years is more than close enough for such an quick and easy rule of thumb.</span>
