Hillary bought a skateboard at 40% off the regular price. The discount on the skateboard was $18. What was the regular price of the skateboard?
First, find the amount of the discountExample: $299.95 - $179.99 = $119.962. Next, use this percent equation to find the percent discount.Words: $119.96 is what percent of $299.95?Variable: Let n represent the percent.Equation: $119.96 = n times $299.95$119.96 = n times $299.95|Write the Equation0.40 = n|Divide each side by $299.95The Percent of discount is about 40%-gh500
1%=0.01 20%=0.2 1-0.2=0.8 1600x0.8= 160x8= 1280$
Percent means "hundredths". To get 10% of a price, multiply the price by 10/100.
If the full pirice is 29.99 then 30% of 29.99 is found by deviding 29.99 by 100 and multiplying the result by 30:-29.99/100 = 0.29990.2999*30= 8.997Thus you now take 8.997 from the regular price to set the sale price:-29.99-8.997= 20.993
16.9 times x = 26 Divide both sides by 16.9 you get 1x=? Then make it a percent. I wont do the work for you, but there is a start. Find x.
