Tomas wants to buy anew baseball bat. the one he likes cost $130, but is on sale for $104.what is the percent of the discount tomas will get if he buys the bat?

Tomas will get 20%  discount  if he buys the bat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of the baseball bat = $130

The selling price of the baseball bat =  $104

Now, the Discounted amount = Marked Price -   Selling Price

                                                =  $130 - $104  = $26

So, the total discount on the baseball bat = $26

Also, the discount percentage is always applied on the marked price.

SO, let us assume the discount percentage on MP  = k%

⇒  k % of $130 =  $26

or, k = 20%

So, the discount percentage on the marked price = 20%

Hence, Tomas will get 20%  discount  if he buys the bat.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
