Q: In order to calculate the discount percent of an item, you need to know what the sale price is, and what the original or list price is. For example, you might know that a sweater’s original price is $69, and that it is on sale for $51.75. This will give you the markdown amount, the amount of dollars taken off the original price. For example, since 69−51.75=17.25{\displaystyle 69-51.75=17.25}, $17.25 was taken off the price of the sweater. Use the formula M=PD{\displaystyle M=PD}, where M{\displaystyle M} equals the markdown, in dollars, of the item, P{\displaystyle P} equals the original price of the item, and D{\displaystyle D} equals the discount percent of the item. Be sure to substitute the original price for the variable P{\displaystyle P}, and the markdown for the variable M{\displaystyle M}. For example, if a sweater, originally $69, has a markdown of $17.25, your formula will look like this: 17.25=69D{\displaystyle 17.25=69D}. This will give you the percent of the discount as a decimal. To convert to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. For example:17.25=69D{\displaystyle 17.25=69D}17.2569=69D69{\displaystyle {\frac {17.25}{69}}={\frac {69D}{69}}}.25=D{\displaystyle .25=D}So, a $69 sweater on sale for $51.75 is 25% off.
A: Assess what information you know. Subtract the sale price from the original price. Set up a discount formula for your item. Plug the original price and the markdown into the formula. Divide each side of the equation by the original price.

Q: Tell your doctor or healthcare provider about any symptoms you have, including pain, bruising, swelling, or buckling of the knee. The doctor may test your knee’s range of motion by moving your leg back and forth. They may also take X-rays or an MRI of your knee.  Explain to your doctor what caused the injury as well as how long the pain has lasted. Knee hyperextension can cause injuries and tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Severe ligament injuries may need surgery. In most cases, your doctor will recommend a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (such as Motrin or Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) to relieve the pain. These are available over the counter. In more severe cases, the doctor may prescribe you pain medication. Take the medication according to your doctor’s instructions. If you have a torn ACL or PCL, your doctor may recommend surgery to restore your torn ligament. This surgery will repair the ligament by grafting a sample of tissue from yourself or a donor into your injured knee. It can take between 2-9 months to recover from ACL or PCL surgery. At the beginning, you may need to walk on crutches. Once the pain has reduced and you are able to move more easily, your doctor may give you a referral to a physical therapist to begin a rehabilitation program. This program will help you regain flexibility and extension in your knee without injuring yourself further. For minor hyperextension issues, you may not need physical therapy. Your doctor may just recommend low-impact exercises for a few weeks.
A: Visit a doctor to examine the injury. Take an anti-inflammatory pain medication. Undergo knee surgery if you have a ligament tear. Get a referral to a physical therapist if necessary.

Q: If you are constantly dwelling on the past or daydreaming about the future, you are missing out on the present moment. Remember that the past and the future are simply illusions, and that real life takes place here and now.  Start paying attention to negative thoughts so that you can move on from them and enjoy the present moment. If a negative thought arises in your head, then acknowledge it, label it a negative thought, and then let it fade away. Regular meditation or mindfulness exercises can help to make this feel more natural for you. Get in the habit of paying attention to small details around you. Appreciate the feeling of the sun on your skin, the sensation of your feet walking on the ground, or the artwork in the restaurant you are eating in. Noticing things like these will help you silence a rambling mind and appreciate every moment. Unfortunately, many people measure their own success by comparing it to the success of those around them. If you want to feel accomplished and happy, you will have to value your life for its own sake.  Many people have the tendency to compare the low points of their own lives with the high points of other peoples' lives. Remember that no matter how perfect somebody's life may seem, behind closed doors everybody deals with tragedy, insecurity, and other difficulties. Pay attention to and limit your use of social media to help you remember this. Rather than comparing yourself with people who are "better off" than you, think about all of the people who are homeless, chronically ill, or living in poverty. This will help you appreciate what you have rather than feeling sorry for yourself.  Try engaging in volunteer work to help make this more apparent. This can help to boost your happiness and confidence as well. No matter how much you achieve in life, you will always feel unhappy if you constantly focus on what you don't have. Instead, devote time every day to appreciating the things you do have. Think beyond material items; appreciate your loved ones, and cherish happy memories.
A: Enjoy the present moment. Don't compare your own life to other peoples' lives. Count your blessings.

Q: The amount and frequency of your dog’s feedings will depend on the age and size of your dog. Talk to your veterinarian if you are unsure about how much you should be feeding your dog. In general, adult dogs only need to be fed once per day and the amount they need is based on their weight. You can usually find weight charts on dog food packages that indicate how much food your dog needs each day. Keep in mind that dogs under the age of one will need to be fed more frequently. Puppies from 8-12 weeks old need to be fed four times per day. They also require special puppy food. Check with your veterinarian to be sure that you are giving your dog the right type and amount of food every day. Dogs need plenty of fresh clean water to drink every day. Your dog may need more water if he has been exercising or if the weather is hot. Make sure to provide a bowl of water that your dog can access easily. Refill it if the water gets low, and change the water daily. It’s nice to indulge your dog with a treat now and then to show that you care about him/her. Treats can be used to reward good behavior as well. Reward your dog with a treat every day, such as a homemade dog biscuit or a store-bought rawhide bone.
A:
Understand your dog’s dietary requirements. Make sure your dog always has access to fresh clean water. Give treats for good behavior.
