For this case we have the following subtraction:

We can rewrite the subtraction in an easier way.
We have then:

Then, by doing associative property we have:

Answer:
The value of the subtraction is given by:

450/500 how much you have to how much it costs
this equals to 90 % of the complete cost
100%-90%=10%
you need a 10 % discount
hope this helps
19.1 should be your answer
∆ABC=∆DEF
AB=DE –>String
BC=EF–> Rib
m<C=m<F=90° –>List
AC=DF
So m<A=m<D=35 (It is not clear whether the number is 35 or 36, but the same number)
I have done this question before but i can’t remember
