Normally a game console costs $525, but you only have $450. How much would the game console need to be discounted (as a percent), for you to be able to buy it? (please show all work)

14.29 or rounded up to 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

525 - 450 = 75

You need at least $75 off the price to have enough money.

75/525 = x/100

Solve for X

75 * 100 = 7500

7500/525 = 14.2857143

If answer should be a whole percentage you would need the discount to be 15% in order to not fall short on funds.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
