Bob bought a shirt that was on sale. The original price of the shirt was $28.99. It was marked down to $16.99. What was the percent decrease in the price? Round to the nearest whole percent.

41.4

Step-by-step explanation:

because say the discount price is 12.00 dollars which mean to get 16.99 you have to substract it from 28.99, and the percentage would be 41.4.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
