Answer:
5.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we divide 2 by 5 we get 0.4
So 5 and 2/5 = 5.4
-22 - x = 5 + 6x + 9 Combine like terms (5 and 9)
-22 - x = 14 + 6x Subtract 6x from both sides
-22 - 7x = 14 Add 22 to both sides
-7x = 36 Divide both sides by -7
x = 5
Plug in -3 for x
f(-3) = 2(-3) - (-3 + 6)
f(-3) = -6 - (3)
f(-3) = -9
Solution: f(-3) = -9
The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.
An item costs x dollars.
With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.
Now you apply a 30% discount.
For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.
Start with 0.4x.
Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.
70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x
After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.
Answer: 28%
