-4 x 23 is -92.
1. Place your compass point on X and measure the distance to point Y. Swing an arc of this size above (or below) the segment.
2. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass point on Y and swing the same arc, intersecting with the first arc.
3. Label the point of intersection as the third vertex of the equilateral triangle.
4. Use you straight edge and connect the points.

Why....
You can make equations out of the information
Let L be Lin, G be Greg, and F be Fran
L = 4 + G ---"Lin sold 4 more shirts than Greg"
F = 3L ---"Fran sold 3 times as many shirts as Lin"
F + G + L = 51 ---"In total the three sold 51 shirts"
Use F + G + L = 51
Substitute the equations in for F and L (because you need to know the G) like this....
(3L) + G + (4+G) = 51
You still have a variable besides G in there... you can use the L= 4+G and substitute again so that there are only G's
( 3(4+G) ) + G + (4+G) = 51 ---- SIMPLIFY :D
( 12 + 3G ) + G + 4 + G = 51
12 + 3G + G + 4 + G = 51 ---Combine like terms
16 + 5G = 51 </span>
Answer:
The price was reduced by about 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
Per cent of change = (amount of change) ÷ (original amount)
% change = (799.99 - 375.99)/799.99
= 424 / 799
= .5300
= 53 %
