The quantity reported an <em>equivalent net</em> percentage change of 28 percent.

<h3>How to calculate the net change of a quantity in percentages</h3>

In this problem we must determine the <em>simple</em> percentage change equivalent to two <em>consecutive</em> percentual changes. The formula that describes the situation is:

1 + r/100 = (1 - 60/100) · (1 + 80/100)

1 + r/100 = 72/100

r/100 = - 28/100

r = - 28

The quantity reported an <em>equivalent net</em> percentage change of 28 percent.

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete. Complete form is presented below:

There are 32 students in a class. Of the class, 3/8 of the students bring their own lunches. How many students bring their lunch

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of students that bring their lunches

y -----> the total number of students in a class

we know that

The number of students that bring their lunches divided by the total number of students in a class must be equal to 3/8

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{8}$

$x=\frac{3}{8}y$ -----> equation A

$y=32$ -----> equation B

substitute the value of y in equation A and solve for x

$x=\frac{3}{8}(32)$

$x=12$

therefore

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12
