So the book guy mark downed the price of the books by 46%, also known as 0.46. All decimals are less than 1. So then, what you do is you take b, which is the variable defining the price of the book, then you multiply it by 0.46. So the answer of b would be b x 0.46. For C, you must do 29 x 0.54, and that will give you the answer for C. Finally, in D, take the answer you got in C, and subtract that by 29. This will give you your answer.
Answer:
Start each wireless access point at a separate time.
Let x = sue
and then let 3x-84 = marcia
therefore
(x)+(3x-84)=132
4x-84=132
4x=216
x=54
however just solving for x doesnt completely solve. it only shows sues money because x = sue
for marcia
3x-84
3(54)-84
162-84
78
therefore Marcia has 78$.
