Round your answers to the nearest tenths place.

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6x - 6 - 2x = 40. collect the like terms

- 6x - 2x - 6 = 40

- 8x - 6 = 40 take 6 to the right

- 8x = 40 + 6

- 8x/ -8 = 46/ - 8

x = - 5.75

I hope this answers your question

44.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100

Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574

Original price = $1299

($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.

So it becomes 44.2%
