A coat at a store is originally priced at $54.99. The store marks down the price down to $32.99. To the nearest percent, what is the percent markdown of the coat?

66.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

given

A coat at a store is originally priced at $54.99

The store marks down the price down to $32.99

Required

the percent decrease

Step two:

the percent decrease= change in price/ old price*100

the percent decrease= 54.99-32.99/54.99*100

the percent decrease= 22/ 32.99*100

the percent decrease= 0.666*100

the percent decrease= 66.6%

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
