100%

• 8%

□□□=□
8% · y 54

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the percentage to pay

Since there's an 8% off, the percentage Arnav pays is \(100\% - 8\% = 92\%\), which is \(0.92\) in decimal.

Step2: Calculate the amount paid

Multiply the original price (\(54\)) by the decimal equivalent of the percentage paid. So the formula is \(54\times(1 - 0.08)=54\times0.92\).
Calculating \(54\times0.92\): \(54\times0.92 = 49.68\).

Answer:

\(54\times0.92 = 49.68\) (or using the given numbers: \(54 - 54\times8\% = 54 - 4.32 = 49.68\), but the boxed operation with the given tiles would be \(54\times(1 - 0.08)\) or \(54 - 54\times0.08\), and the result is \(49.68\))
