Emilio has a coupon for 20% off of his purchase at a store with no sales tax. He finds a backpack that is already on sale for 30% off. The store will apply his coupon to the sale price of the backpack. If the original price of the backpack is $65.00, how much will Emilio pay?

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
