R=4x/2x=2x/x=2
8x, 16x, 32x
Okay so i did this question before love , the answer should be b
The answer is no it will be less here's why let say the original amount is A then a p% increase will be A(1+p/100))
Now from this amount we decrease it by p% this gives A(1+p/100)(1-p/100). We can simplify this expression some by letting x=p/100 then we have A(1+x)(1-x) but this is equal to A(1-x2). You can see that the value of what's inside the () is always <1 as long as x>0. If we calculate how much the amount changes we have A(1-x2)-A=-Ax2 is always a loss.
This is one of the reasons some people lose money in the stock market. If a stock rises 10% and then drops 10% you have actually lost money but it sounds, on the face of it, like you should be even. +10 and -10 percent.
If we now do the calculation for the 25% up and down we have the final amount is is .9375 which is 1.25*.75. and the change is .9375-1=-.0625. So the net result is down 6.25%
2560-1944= 616gallons
7 days in a week or 14 days in two weeks
616gallons / 14days = 44 gallons / 1 day
Notice in the fraction we have
(Gallons / days)
Now if you filled the take up the entire way
2560 gallons
We have gallons and the question wants the amount of days
Thus to cancel gallons we set the equation up as such
(2560 gallons) x (1 day / 44 gallons) = 58.18 days
Or 58 days
Sixty eight trillion, eight hundred sixty billion, five hundred million, eighty six thousand and six
