The first discount on a camera was 18%. the second discount was 20%. after these two discounts the price was $328. what was the original price?

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.

Second Discount

20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

I now solve for y by dividing by 80.

The price after the first discount was $410.

First Discount

We will repeat the steps above with $410. 18% off means we paid 82%.

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

I now solve for y by dividing by 82.

The original price was $500.

answer: what are the following choices

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
