If it is 40% off then it is 100-40 = 60% of original price. So we do 180$ * . 6 = $108 before tax. To add on tax we do: 100 + 5 = 105% of that price.
The unit rate is $2.20 for each pencil because 11 divided by 5 is 2.2
Let x be the brick portion of the wall
Since x is 2/3 of the wall
Then x= (2/3)(2 3/4)
x= 11/6 = 1 5/6
So the brick portion of the wall is 1 5/6 feet
Note: that's not 15/6, it's a mixed fraction which is 1 + 5/6.. just to let you know
