Write an equation that represents a discount of 18% on a retail price of $55. let p represent the new price.

55-(55×0.18)=p

A discount is the percentage of the item minus the original price. Because you need to take 18% off of 55, you need to first convert 18% to a decimal. Do this by moving the decimal point two spots to the left:

18=0.18

Then, you must find out what 18% of 55 is. Do this by multiplying 0.18 by 55:

0.18×55=9.9

Then you must subtract 9.9 from the original 55:

55-9.9=45.1

To find the equation, you combine all of these steps into one equation:

55-(55×0.18)=p

You would then follow GEMDAS to solve the equation, if needed.

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.
