Please help!!! Urgent!! A department store is having a clearance sale. The price on a television is reduced by 38%. That sale price is then reduced by another 38%. If x is the televisions original price, the sale price can be represented by (x-0.38x)-0.38(x-0.38x). With these two reductions, at what percentage of the original price is the television being sold? Use the factored, simplified form of the expression to answer the question.

The price on a television is reduced by 38%.
full price x = 100%   sale price = 62% *x

anonymous · Answer

Soo 100 would go into x

triciaal · Answer

That sale price is then reduced by another 38%. 
new price = 62% of 62% * x

anonymous · Answer

I would subtract 100 to get 62?

triciaal · Answer

Use the factored, simplified form of the expression to answer the question.
so use a different approach should get the same answer.

anonymous · Answer

38.44%is the answer

anonymous · Answer

May you please help me with another question?

triciaal · Answer

(x-0.38x)-0.38(x-0.38x) = 62/100

triciaal · Answer

how did you get that and was it correct?

anonymous · Answer

Yes that answer was correct 
Solve the quadriatic equation 
7/(x-5) + x/(x+5)= 44/(x+5)(x-5)
