Hi there!
To find the percent discount, we need to divide the new price by the original price without the discount:
18 / 25 = 0.72
Now, we convert this into a percentage, so we can find the <em>percent </em>discount:
0.72 = 72%
Now, we subtract from 100%:
100% - 72% = 28%
So, the answer is 28%.
Hope this helps!
Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.
