If it is a percent discount:  \nExample:  A 25% discount of a video game originally marked $40.\n\n1.  Make the percent into a decimal (move the decimal two places to the left)  25% becomes .25\n\n2.  Multiply the decimal (.25) by the cost of the item (40)\n.25 x 40 = 10\n\n3.  Subtract the discounted amount (10) from the original amount (40) so you get 40-10 = 30.\n\n4.  $30 is the discounted price.  \n\nHope this helps.

Contact all of your local pizza places and try to work out some type of combined target advertising. \n\nA pizza discount with video rental.\n\nA video discount with pizza reciept.\n\nOffer a free rental to kids with all A's\n\nGet them to hand out a flyer or something with all of their orders at the pizza place. Who doesn't like pizza and a movie.\n\nWork out a discount for college students. Anything to draw them. \n\nGet an ad in a local paper advertising these specials.\n\nGet something printed on the back of reciepts at any local business. \n\nOffer video renewal by phone. Just charge their account a renewal rate instead of a late fee if they call in before it's late. Like each extra day is just a $1.

Sell "Holiday Grams", it would be a short note that the sender writes and xmas lollipop sent to someone in their class (say like 2nd period on Dec 15th). Charge two or three dollars. My school used to do this to raise money during each major holiday

BE CONSISTENT!!  Don't let them wear you down.  If you said you were taking recess for a month, then by golly take recess for a month.  I have a color system which correlates to their conduct grades (this works K-6). Green-great day. Yellow-warning.  Purple-loss of priviledge, loss of points.  Orange-phone call home, loss of points.  Red--minor referral (note home), loss of points.  Black--principal's office, conference with parent and loss of points.  Note that if one is on black everything above it occurs as well, etc.  I also have a ticket box.  Anytime I see good behavior, i tell them to get a ticket.  Anyone staying on green that day gets a ticket as well.  Every Friday, I pull one name out of the box for a prize out of my toybox.  We discuss the probability of pulling their name if they have only 1 ticket as opposed to 10 tickets.  Whoever makes a 100A with no warnings recieves a certificate and a prize out of my box. (I also have a record sheet for the week.)   Granted, I do have first grade but out of 17 students 15 made an A in conduct on their report cards.  1 was a B and the other was a little thief who is now making an A!

There've already been a lot of good answers, but I thought I'd see if I could explain it a little more clearly.\n\n1) 3x - 7 = 2x + 8.  Start by adding 7 and subtracting 2x from each side:  3x -7 +7 -2x = 2x +8 +7 -2x.  Combine the terms to get x = 15.\n\n2) 4(7x + 10) = 3(9x - 5) + 20.  Start by multiplying 4 by everything in the first set of parentheses and 3 by everything in the second set:  28x + 40 = 27x - 15 + 20.  Now, subtract 27x and 40 from each side:  28x - 27x +40 -40 = 27x - 27x -15 +20 - 40.  Combine the terms to get x= -35.\n\n3) Let Ricardo's age = R and his sister's = S.  We are told that R = 2S - 4 and R + S = 20.  Since R and 2S - 4 are the same, we can write the second equation as 2S - 4 + S = 20.  Add 4 to each side and combine: 3S = 24.  Then divide by 3:  S = 8.  So his sister is 8 years old.  Remember that their ages added together are 20, so he must be (20 - 8) = 12 years old.\n\n4) First, find the actual amount of the discount.  The original price was $350, and the sale price is $308, so the discount is ($350 -$308) = $42.  Now, you want to find the rate of discount, or what percent of the price was taken off.  To find that, you divide the discount ($42) by the original price ($350) and mutiply by 100%.  It comes out to 12%.\n\n5) -3(x + 1) = 2(x - 8) + 3.  Start by multiplying out the parentheses:  -3x -3 = 2x - 16 + 3.  Then subtract 2x and add 3 to each side and combine the terms:  -5x = -10.  Divide by -5:  x = 2.

Advertise at the college. Most colleges have boards to post things on. Put on the sign that you want to sell it and how much you want. Best way to do it quick is to put O.B.O.(or best offer. I am sure there are some freshmen kids wanting to get out of the dorm. You might get a bite quick seeing as how summer is coming up!

Get some very strong glue and glue a quarter to the sidewalk outside where you work or go to school. Make sure it is in a clear obvious place. Then sit inside and watch how hard people will work just to get $0.25! \n\nThis doesn't harm anyone, and what's best, it targets random people instead of one person.

Take your own hint.  If one just gives you the answer, you don't learn anything.\n\nStart with $3.\nConsider her and the 4 friends (5 total).\nLast consider the teacher.\n\nEasy as pie.

It's going to be tough, and it's alittle late to. During the beginning of the high school year when tennis is in season there are some tennis shops that give out coupons for tennis. I got a 20% discount on my Babolot at Avanti Sports in Seattle. You'll have to wait next year I guess.

Start with 100%.  To decrease the price by 7.5% you would multiply by (100 - 7.5)% = 92.5% or 0.925\n\n$17 * 0.925 = $15.73\n$25.50 * 0.925 = $23.59\n$16 * 0.925 = $14.80\n$360 * 0.925 = $333.00

i love summer classes,, they are over so quickly, just put in the time and effort and you should pass.. to keep motivated,, find something in the store that you really want,, then every time you go to class, take notes, study/ pay attention, etc, put a few dollars into a jar,.. but make the item nice, like a pair of shoes that your boyfriend would never let you have....    each time you successfully complete a class session brings you closer to that sweet prize,  the thing is that you can't buy the item on discount and you have to sock away the same amount of money each time.. if you miss two or more classes kiss the sweetness goodbye and be honest with yourself,, that way when you are done with classes you get to get that sweet item that you normally wouldn't be able to get with an excuse,, " i worked hard for this" etc.. GOOD LUCK
