Noel Magee purchased a micro-cut shredder at a sale price of $179.99. The regular selling price is $199.99. He also purchased a photo-smart printer at 25% off the regular price of $499.99. A. What is the markdown on the shredder? B. What is the markdown on the printer?

a) 10% off or $20 off

b) 25% off or $124.99 off

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the markdown on the shredder we simply need to divide the sale price by the original price. Once we have that we subtract that decimal from 1 and multiply by 100 to get the markdown percentage. We can also subtract the original price from the sales price to get the markdown dollar value.

179.99 / 199.99 = 0.899

(1 - 0.899) * 100 = 10%

199.99 - 179.99 = $20

Now, for the printer we are provided the markdown perentage so to find the markdown dollar value we need to divide the perentage by 100 to turn it into a decimal and multiply that decimal by the regular price of the printer. We can also subtract the markdown dollar value from the original price to get the sale price...

25% / 100 = 0.25

0.25 * 499.99 = 124.99

499.99 - 124.99 = $375

10x

step-by-step explanation:

the greatest common factor 30 and 20 is 10

5 is a common factor of 30 and 20 but 10 is also a factor and 10 is greater than 5 so 5 will definitely not be apart of our answer

now the most amount of x's you factor our is just 1 factor of 1

so 10x the gcf of the terms in the polynomial

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples
