Answer 10

so you want to find the new sale price first. to do that turn the percentage into a decimal.
to find the decimal divide the percentage by 100.

Answer 11

Use a proportion.
75% is 75/100 well you need to find x in 24/x
75/100 = 24/x
Find this by multiplying 24 by 100, then dividing your answer by 75. That will give you X.
