19. Brian bought a new jacket at a discount of 30%. If the original price was $65, how
much did Brian pay for the jacket?

Brain paid $ 45.5 for the jacket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Original price of jacket = $ 65

Discount -= 30%

Price after discount = Original price - 30% of Original price

= 65 - 30% of 65

= 65 - (0.3) x 65    [30% = 0.3]

= (65)   (1-0.3 )             [Taking 65 common]

= (65)(0.7)

= $ 45.5

Hence, Brain paid $ 45.5 for the jacket.

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
