Answer:
Holly will still pay 86% of the original price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- Holly gets 14% off a shirt, so
To determine
What percent of the original price will still pay.
All we need is to subtract the percentage of discount from 100.
i.e.
100 - Discount = 100 - 14 = 86%
The amount left over would be what remains of the original price after Holly gets 14 % off a shirt.
Thus, Holly will still pay 86% of the original price.
The unknown number . . . . . (z)
The sum of the unknown number and 22 . . . . . (z + 22)
The sum of the unknown number and 22
divided by the same unknown number . . . . . . . (z + 22) / z
You said that quotient is 12. (z + 22) / z = 12
Multiply each side by 'z' : (z + 22) = 12 z
Subtract 'z' from each side: 22 = 11 z
Divide each side by 11 : 2 = z .
