Answer 1

this is very easy, actually, and I only answer it in the hope that you will learn this topic once and for all (so that you can go on to future math work and be successful).

 

If you get 18% off then you have to pay only 82% (because 100% - 18% = 82%).

 

So just multiply the normal (before discount price) by 0.82 and that's the Answer.
