The sum of two consecutive even integers is 54.find the integer

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

26, 28

Discussion:

Let x be the smaller even integer. Then (x+2) is the next even integer and

x + ( x + 2)  = 54              => combine like terms

2x + 2 = 54                      => subtract 2 from each side

2x = 54 - 2 =>

2x = 52      =>

x = 26

Thank you,

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
