fox jeans regularly sell for $ 15 a pair and pony jeans regularly sell for $ 18 a pair . during a sale these regular unit prices are discounted at different rates so that a total of $ 8.64 is saved by purchasing 5 pairs of jeans : 3 pairs of fox jeans and 2 pairs of pony jeans . if the sum of the two discount rates is 22 percent , what is the discount rate on pony jeans ?
let x be the discount on pony jeans . then 0.22 - x is the discount on fox jeans . 3 ( 0.22 - x ) ( 15 ) + 2 x ( 18 ) = 8.64 9.9 - 45 x + 36 x = 8.64 9 x = 1.26 x = 0.14 the answer is e .
multiply(subtract(divide(22, const_100), divide(subtract(8.64, multiply(divide(22, const_100), multiply(18, const_2))), subtract(multiply(15, const_3), multiply(18, const_2)))), const_100)
