What is the rate of discount if a pair of shoes is regularly $145.00 and the sales price is $108.75?

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

You set up the proportion 108.75/145 is x/100 to find out what percentage of 145 108.75 is. You can then use this proportion to find that percentage with cross multiplying, by doing this you get the equation 108.75 times 100 is equal to 145x. Then you simplify to get 10,875=145x. Then you solve like regular by dividing both sides by 145 to get x=75. Now we know that 108.75 is 75% of 145, but we aren't done yet. Now in order to find the discount price you subtract 75 from 100 to get 25, so you're finding the difference between 100 and the x-value we just found. The final answer is 25%

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
