At a hardware store, a tool set normally cost $80. During a sale this week, the tool set costs $12 less than usual. What percentage of the usual price is the saving? Explain or show your reasoning.

15 % of usual price is a savings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that tool set normally cost $80

During the sale this week the tools that cost $12 less than usual

To find: what percentage of the usual price is a savings

From given information,

Usual price of tool set = $ 80

Given that tools that cost $12 less than usual which means she saved $ 12

Savings = $ 12

To find what percentage of the usual price is a savings, we can solve by framing a expression,

Let "x" be the required percentage

Then x % of percentage is equal to savings price

x % of usual price = savings price

x % of 80 = 12

Therefore 15 % of usual price is a savings

dont trust me im no expert these losers made me fail a test bro this sucks

step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
