Hi there. Do you understand how percents work?
Not really
Okay, then here is the jist. Percents represent part of a whole. So 18% means the part that is 18% of 100%. When something is on sale, that means it is reduced by the percent amount. You can take 100%-18% to get what percent you will pay, which is 82%.
Your question is done on matching, so let's start with the first column. What is the price originally?
B
Correct. The second column. The money you save is the original price minus the original time the percent.
You are required to convert the percent into a decimal first.
So you are looking for B- something
0.18?
No, it would be B- something, where the something is the percent times the original price
did you get it?
yeah
The last column, you need to determine how much you will pay, that is (100-18) times B
After that, every choice no selected is "None of these"
Did you get it?
no
Where did you get too?
column 1 you had said B if you look at the previous posts.
column 2 you have the B- correct but it is not 0.18, it should be 0.18 times the original price
column 3 looks good, column 4 will be what is left over after the other three columns are answered.
does this make sense?
yeah
Anything else I can do for you?

What about writing expressions do you need help with?
when you see the words 8 times and add 9, what do you think that means?
