Sam bought an $85.00 jacket for 40% off of the regular price. How much did ge pay for the jacket?

i think he payed 34 since 40 percent of 85 is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the discount price, multiply the original price ($85) by the discount ( 100-40=60): 85 x 0.6= $51 is what he paid.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
