At a local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. how much are jeans now?

the price of jeans now is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .

Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be

x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3

x = $12

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
