Question
A pair of jeans originally priced at 179. What is the ratio, in simplest form, of:Question 1Workboarda. the original price compared to the selling price? 215:179ANSWER215:179WORKED SOLUTION=215:179Question 2Workboardb. the original price compared to the discount?
Solution
a. The original price compared to the selling price:
The ratio of the original price to the selling price is 215:179. This ratio is already in its simplest form, as there are no common factors between 215 and 179.
b. The original price compared to the discount:
First, we need to calculate the discount. The discount is the original price minus the selling price, which is 179 = $36.
The ratio of the original price to the discount is therefore 215:36. To simplify this ratio, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 215 and 36. The GCD of 215 and 36 is 1, so the ratio in its simplest form is 215:36.
