Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x(x - 5)(x - 3)

Step 2: Expand

Expand [FOIL]:                    x(x² - 3x - 5x + 15)Combine like terms:           x(x² - 8x + 15)Distribute x:                        x³ - 8x² + 15x

72%

Step-by-step explanation: Well, we want to know what percent 608 is of 845, so to solve that, let's call 845 100%, as we're solving it terms of 845. 845 is 100%, then it follows that 8.45 is 1%.
