Answer:
- <em>convert </em>the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
- if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and <em>rewrite </em>the fractions with the same denominators
- subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
- convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.
Example
convert to improper fractions:
common denominator = 3 × 5 = 15, so:
subtract:

The final price of the item is $22,644
The initial discount of 10% leaves the price at 90% of the retail value:
cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 3,060,000
x = 30,600
This new price is then discounted 26%, which means the final price is 74% of $30,600:
cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 2,264,400
x = 22,644
