The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent. Find the single reduction the two reductions together are equal to.

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost%

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      %

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

%=

%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%

thats the first half

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
