A pair of shoes cost $45. The shoes are on sale for 60% off. What is the discount amount?

$27.00

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the discount amount, multiply the discount rate by the cost of the shoes

discount rate * price of shoes

The discount rate is 60% off, and the shoes cost $45

60%*45

Convert 60% to a decimal by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place over 2 spots

60/100=0.60

60.—>6.0–>0.60

0.60*45=27

The discount amount is $27.00

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
