    Step-by-step explanation:

    1) Let x represent the sale price.

    normal price = $39.95. This week they are on sale for 25% off the regular price. The amount taken off is

    25/100 * 39.95 = 9.9875

    Sale price = 39.95 - 9.9875 = $29.9625

    2) number of games played by the tigers is 11 + 4 = 15

    Percentage of games won is

    11/15 * 100 = 73.3%

    number of games played by the cubs is 10 + 3 = 13

    Percentage of games won is

    10/13 * 100 = 76.9%

    3) increase in stock price = 61.5 - 52.63 = $8.87

    Percentage increase = 8.87/52.63 * 100 = 16.85%

    4) if 28 percent of seven graders went

    to a movie theater over the weekend and there are 800 students in the seventh grade, then the number of seven graders that saw

    the movie is

    28/100 * 800 = 224
