You go shopping and you use two 20% off coupons. You think this might equal 40% off but it does not. Calculate what percent the actual discount is.

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the number is 20. Then we can use the percentage 20%. 16.

Then you would do it again. $12.80

If you use 40% it would be $12.00

Therefore it would be slightly smaller which would be a percentage of 36%

Henceforth two 20% is the same as one 36%

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
