Answer:
0.15x
Explanation:
Hello!
We know that Jason has 65 t-shirts. 65 is 100% of 65, or 65 t-shirts will be 100% of the shirts he has. Confused? Think of it this way:
Let x = the number of shirts Jason has (65)
100% of x = 1x or x
15% off of x = subtracting 15%x or 0.15x
The equation that will help find the number of t-shirts to give away is 0.15x.
Since we know that x is 65, we can substitute that in.
The equation is 0.15(65)
We can simplify this to get 9.75 so he would sell 9 t-shirts.
