First you convert the percentage into a decimal. 18% to 0.18, then you multiply that decimal to the price of the item being discounted and bam, you have your price.
For the answer to the question above, the opposite angles at the intersection of two straight lines as shown in the graph are congruent.
So the answer is simply∡ EIA and ∡ KIJ are congruent.
I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
angle y and angle (5y-18) are supplementary angles
then
y°+(5y-18)°=180°------> 6y=180+18------> y=198/6-----> y=33°
and
angle x and angle y are also supplementary angles
then
x+y=180--------> x=180-y-----> x=180-33-----> x=147°
the answer is
x=147°
y=33°
| x - 8| = 3
x - 8 = 3 - (x - 8) = 3
x = 3 + 8 -x + 8 = 3
x = 11 -x = 3 - 8
-x = - 5
x = 5
Minimum : 5% Maximum : 11% if u need them added it is 16%
