Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the whole equation by 2
24*4x - 5*24 + 2 = 20
96x - 120 + 2 = 20
96x - 118 = 20
Add 118 to both sides
96x = 20 +118
96x = 138
Divide both sides by 96
x = 138/96 = 23/16
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
If we know she will have a 25% discount, we know she will only pay 75%. So you divide by 4 and get 6. So now, If we subtract 25% (6), our 75% will be 18.
Let's use Pythagorean theorem.
where
is the hypotenuse.
So if we set it up:
now we simplify:
and get
by itself:
Now to get
by itself, we need to take the square root of both sides:
And that's your answer!
Answer:
18% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
- 7,500 - 6,125 = $1,375
- Set up a proportion:
- Cross multiply, then divide: 1375 × 100 = 137500, 137500 ÷ 7500 = 18 1/3
- 18 1/3% rounded = 18%
- It went down, so it is a decrease
I hope this helps!
