It seems most likely that ...
... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction
_____
In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.
The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
7.
If c = 16
that means the equation is
16 - 9
which is 7
so 7
So
lets say we have
a/b=2a/2b
we know that if we invert one and multiply it by the other (divide them), we get 1 because a/a=1 where a=a
so
2/3 and 4/6 are equivelent because if you divide them we get 12/12=1
2/3 and 8/12 are equivilent because if you divide them we get 24/24=1
and sinde 2/3=4/6 and 2/3=8/12, 2/3=4/6=8/12
they are equivlent
