Find the percent of discount. round to the nearest tenth. original price $24,365; selling price $16,820

The percentage of discount is 31.0 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price = $ 24,365

Selling price = $ 16,820

Thus,

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
